Questions & Answers about من از آچاری که آن را به من دادید، استفاده میکنم.
Why do we say ân râ in this sentence?
ân râ literally means "it" plus the object marker. In Farsi, when a relative clause describes a direct object (the wrench you gave), we use a "resumptive pronoun" to point back to it. You are literally saying "the wrench that you gave it to me".
Could I use an ending attached to the verb instead of ân râ?
Yes! Instead of the separate words ân râ, you can use the object suffix -ash (it) attached to the verb in the relative clause. The middle of the sentence would become ke be man dâdidash (that you gave it to me).
Why is there an -i at the end of âchâri?
This -i attaches to the noun (âchâr) right before ke (that) to link it to the description that follows. It shows we are talking about a specific item, meaning "the particular wrench that...".
Why is the word az (from) used before the wrench?
The Farsi verb for "to use" is estefâde kardan, and it always pairs with the preposition az. In Farsi, you do not "use a wrench," you "make use from a wrench." Because of this, az goes right before the noun you are using.
