Questions & Answers about این یک جشن مخصوص است؛ میخواهم کنارش بنشینم.
How does kenârash mean "next to her"?
The word kenâr means "side" and functions as the preposition "next to". Instead of using the separate pronoun u with an ezafe (like kenâr-e u), we attach the personal ending -ash directly to the preposition, creating kenârash.
Does kenârash specify gender? Could it also mean "next to him"?
Yes, it could! Farsi pronouns and attached endings like -ash do not show gender. Depending entirely on the context, kenârash can mean "next to him", "next to her", or "next to it".
Why does the second verb, benshinam, start with be-?
Because it follows the verb mi-khâham (I want). When you link two verbs like "I want to sit", the second verb must be in the subjunctive form. We create this by adding the prefix be- to the present stem of the verb.
Why isn't there a visible linking word between jashn (celebration) and makhsus (special)?
In Farsi, nouns and adjectives are linked by an "e" sound called the ezafe. You will pronounce it as jashn-e makhsus, but this short vowel is almost never written in the standard Persian alphabet. You just have to know to pronounce it when an adjective follows a noun.
