Questions & Answers about من شریکی را دوست ندارم که همیشه عصبانی است.
Why does sharik have an -i at the end to make shariki?
The -i suffix here is an indefinite marker meaning a or a certain kind of. When you use ke to describe a noun, that noun takes this -i suffix. So shariki sets up the sentence to mean a partner who...
Why does the ke clause come after the main verb dūst nadāram instead of before it?
Farsi usually puts the main verb at the very end. However, relative clauses starting with ke are typically pushed to the very end of the sentence, after the main verb. This stops a long describing clause from awkwardly interrupting the main parts of the sentence.
Why is the object marker rā placed right after shariki?
The word rā marks the direct object of the verb dūst nadāram (do not like). Since shariki (a partner) is the direct object, rā comes immediately after it, before the main verb and the describing ke clause.
Could I use the word yek (one/a) before shariki to mean a partner?
Yes, you can! You will often hear yek shariki as well as just shariki. Both are correct when introducing an indefinite noun that is going to be described by a ke clause.
