Questions & Answers about من دارم سگ را تربیت میکنم چون زیاد پارس میکند.
Why is دارم (dâram), which normally means 'I have', used at the beginning of this sentence?
In Farsi, to show you are doing an action right now (the present continuous tense), you use the conjugated form of داشتن (dâshtan - to have) alongside your main verb. So, دارم combined with تربیت میکنم changes the meaning from 'I train' to 'I am training'.
Why do we need را (râ) after سگ (sag)?
را (râ) is the specific direct object marker. Because you are training a specific, known dog ('the dog' instead of just 'a dog' or 'dogs in general'), you must use را right after it.
Both halves of the sentence use a form of کردن (kardan). How do these verbs work?
They are both compound verbs, which Farsi uses constantly! تربیت کردن (tarbiyat kardan) means 'to educate/train' and پارس کردن (pârs kardan) means 'to bark'. In compound verbs, the first word stays the same while only the کردن part is conjugated for the person and tense: تربیت میکنم (I train) and پارس میکند (he/it barks).
The second half of the sentence is just چون زیاد پارس میکند (chon ziyâd pârs mikonad). Where is the word for 'he' or 'it'?
Farsi frequently drops subject pronouns when it is obvious who is doing the action. The verb ending in میکند (mikonad) tells us it is the third-person singular ('he/she/it'). From the context of the first half of the sentence, we know this refers back to the dog.
