Questions & Answers about این لحظه مهم است؛ میخواهم ثبتش کنم.
Where is the word for "it" in sabtash konam?
The word for "it" is the ending -ash. This is a pronominal enclitic, a short pronoun attached directly to a word as a direct object. Because sabt kardan (to capture or record) is a compound verb made of a noun plus a helping verb, we attach the object ending -ash to the noun part (sabt) rather than the verb part.
Can I attach the ending to the very end of the verb and say sabt konamash?
You should stick to sabtash konam. While you might occasionally hear native speakers attach the pronoun to the very end of a compound verb in extremely fast or casual speech, attaching it to the first word (the non-verbal part) is the standard and most natural-sounding rule you should follow.
Why does the second verb drop the mi- prefix and become konam instead of mikonam?
The first verb is mi-khâham (I want). Just like a quick refresher from earlier lessons: when you express wanting to do something, the second verb must switch to the subjunctive mood. For the verb kardan (to do), the present subjunctive is formed by dropping the mi- prefix, giving us konam.
What does sabt literally mean on its own?
On its own, sabt means a record, registration, or entry. When paired with kardan, it literally means to make a record. When talking about memories, moments, or photos, it translates perfectly to the English concept of capturing a moment.
