Questions & Answers about زاویه جدید بود. ثبتش کردم.
In ثبتش کردم, why is the "it" ending (-esh) attached to ثبت (sabt) instead of the verb کردم (kardam)?
This is a compound verb made of a noun (sabt) and a light verb (kardan). When adding a pronoun ending to a compound verb, it is most natural to attach it to the first part (the noun or adjective) rather than the verb itself. So we say sabtesh kardam instead of sabt kardamesh.
If "it" is the direct object here, why isn't the object marker râ used?
When you use a pronoun ending like -esh to represent a direct object, you do not need to add râ. The attached ending itself acts as the specific object, replacing the need to say the separate phrase ân râ (that / it).
What does the verb ثبت کردن (sabt kardan) literally mean?
Literally, it means "to record" or "to register." In everyday Farsi, especially when talking about cameras, views, or memories, it is the standard way to say you "captured" or saved a moment.
How do you pronounce the combination ثبتش?
It is pronounced sabt-esh. It combines the noun sabt and the pronoun ending -sh (it). Because the word sabt ends in a consonant, spoken Farsi inserts a short "e" sound to link them together smoothly.
