Questions & Answers about ما برای آنها لباس جمعآوری میکنیم. این یک هدف بزرگ است.
How would we change the first sentence to say 'Let's collect clothes for them'?
To say 'let's do something', we use the hortative structure you are currently learning. You add بیایید (biyâyid) for a group, followed by the rest of the sentence, but the main verb must change to the present subjunctive. The present indicative جمعآوری میکنیم (we collect) drops the می- prefix to become the subjunctive جمعآوری کنیم. So you would say: بیایید برای آنها لباس جمعآوری کنیم.
Why doesn't لباس (clothes) have the object marker را (râ) after it?
In Farsi, we only use را for definite direct objects (like 'the clothes' or 'those clothes'). Here, 'clothes' is general and indefinite (we are collecting clothes in general), so it does not take را.
How do the words برای (for) and آنها (them) connect in pronunciation?
They are connected by an ezâfe (an invisible linking vowel). Because برای ends in a vowel sound (barâ), it adds a 'ye' sound to make the transition smooth. It is pronounced as barâ-ye ân-hâ.
How is the phrase 'a big goal' (یک هدف بزرگ) put together?
The word یک (a/one) always goes before the noun it modifies, which is هدف (goal). Then, just like most adjectives in Farsi, بزرگ (big) goes after the noun. They are connected by the spoken ezâfe vowel 'e', making it sound like yek hadaf-e bozorg.
