Questions & Answers about فردا تولد او است؛ من یک هدیهی مخصوص برایش تهیه کردم.
How is the word برایش (barâyash) formed here?
برایش (barâyash) is made by combining the preposition برای (barâye - "for") with the pronoun ending ـَش (-ash - "him/her"). When adding these endings to برای, the final "e" sound bridges with a "y" sound, making it mean "for him" in this sentence.
Why is there an extra ی in هدیهی (hediye-ye)?
The noun هدیه (hediye - "gift") ends in a silent "h" that sounds like "e". When connecting it to the adjective مخصوص (makhsus - "special"), we need an ezâfe connector. Because we cannot easily pronounce two "e" vowels back-to-back, we add a "y" sound as a bridge, which is written as ی.
Is تهیه کردم (tahiye kardam) a single verb?
Yes, it is a compound verb. تهیه (tahiye) means "preparation" and کردم (kardam) is the past tense of "to do" (I did). Farsi often combines a noun and a basic verb like کردن (kardan) to create a new action, which here means "I prepared".
Could I say تولدش (tavallod-ash) instead of تولد او (tavallod-e u)?
Absolutely! Both mean "his birthday". Using the independent pronoun او (u) with an ezâfe connector puts slightly more emphasis on the person, while the attached pronoun ـَش (-ash) is slightly more common in casual everyday conversation.
