Questions & Answers about من و همبازی جدید در حیاط قایمموشک بازی میکردیم.
How is the past continuous tense formed in بازی میکردیم?
This is a compound verb made from the noun بازی (play) and the verb کردن (to do). To make the past continuous, we take the past stem کرد, add the continuous prefix می, and finish with the first-person plural ending یم. Notice that the می prefix attaches only to the verb part, not to the noun!
Why does the verb end in یم (we) when the sentence starts with من (I)?
The subject of the sentence is not just من (I). The full subject is من و همبازی جدید (The new playmate and I). Since adding someone else to 'I' makes 'we', the verb requires the first-person plural ending یم.
Is there an invisible connecting sound (ezafe) in همبازی جدید?
Yes! To link the noun همبازی (playmate) to the adjective جدید (new), you must use an ezafe. Because همبازی ends in a vowel sound, the connecting sound is pronounced as 'ye', making the phrase hambâzi-ye jadid.
What does the word قایمموشک literally mean?
It is a fun compound word for hide-and-seek. قایم means hidden, and موشک means little mouse (made from موش meaning mouse, plus the diminutive suffix ک). So you are literally playing hidden little mouse!
