Questions & Answers about مردم دارند از مترو بیرون میآیند.
Why are there two verbs, dârand and mi-âyand, and why are they separated?
This is the present progressive tense, used to show an action happening right now. It is formed using the helper verb dâshtan (to have) paired with the main verb. The helper verb (dârand) comes early in the sentence, right after the subject, while the main verb (mi-âyand) stays at the very end.
The word mardom doesn't have a plural ending like -hâ. Why do both verbs end in the plural -and?
Even though it lacks a plural marker, mardom (people) is a collective noun that is always treated as plural in Farsi. Because of this, any verbs connected to it must take the third-person plural ending, just like the phrase 'people are' in English.
How does the Farsi sentence express 'out of'?
It combines the preposition az (from) with the directional word birun (out/outside). Literally, the sentence structure is 'from the subway outside they are coming' (az metro birun mi-âyand).
Could this sentence make sense without the word dârand?
Yes! The present indicative verb mi-âyand alone can mean either 'they come' or 'they are coming.' Adding the helper verb dârand simply emphasizes that the action is currently in progress, like saying 'they are in the middle of coming out.'
