Questions & Answers about من هرگز گوشت خوک نمیخورم چون گیاهخوار هستم.
Why is the verb نمیخورم negative if هرگز already means never?
In Farsi, negative adverbs of time like هرگز require a double negative. Because you used هرگز, the verb must take the negative prefix, changing I eat to I do not eat (نمیخورم).
What is the literal translation of گوشت خوک (pork)?
گوشت means meat and خوک means pig. They are linked together by the hidden e sound called the ezafe, so گوشت خوک literally translates to meat of pig.
How is the word for vegetarian (گیاهخوار) built?
It is a compound word made of two parts: گیاه meaning plant or vegetable, and خوار meaning eater (from the root for eating). Put them together and it literally translates to plant-eater.
Could I drop the pronoun من at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, in Farsi the subject pronouns are optional. Because the verb نمیخورم already ends with the I suffix, starting the sentence directly with هرگز is perfectly natural and common.
