Questions & Answers about او هنوز بیدار است و به رویای خودش فکر میکند.
How does هنوز (hanuz) affect the meaning of the first part of this sentence?
The word هنوز means "still" when it's used with an affirmative verb, like است (is) in this sentence. If we used a negative verb instead, like نیست (is not), هنوز would mean "not yet" (He is not awake yet).
Why is the preposition به (be) used before "his dream" if the translation says he is thinking about it?
In Farsi, the verb فکر کردن (to think) always pairs with the preposition به (to). So while in English you think about something, in Farsi you literally think to it.
Why use خودش (khod-ash) instead of just saying او (u) for "his"?
The word خودش means "his own" or "himself". Whenever the person doing the action (He) is the same as the owner of the object (his dream), Farsi strongly prefers using خود + the matching pronoun ending (ـَش) to sound natural.
What is the extra letter ی doing at the end of رویای (roya-ye)?
The base word for dream is رویا (roya). Because we need to connect it to the next word using the ezafe (the spoken "e" sound meaning "of"), and رویا ends in a vowel, we must add ی as a bridge so it is easy to pronounce.
