Questions & Answers about حتی بچهها این کتاب را میخوانند.
Where should I place an adverb of degree or focus like hatta (even) in a Farsi sentence?
Just like in English, hatta goes immediately before the word or phrase it emphasizes. In this sentence, it emphasizes the children (bacheha), so it is placed right at the beginning of the sentence, just before the subject.
Why do we need the word ra after in ketab (this book)?
In Farsi, when a direct object is specific, you must mark it with ra. Because we are talking about a specific book by pointing to it with the word in (this), ra is required right after in ketab to show it is the specific thing being read.
How is the verb mikhanand (they read) built in this sentence?
It is in the simple present tense. The prefix mi- shows it is a regular or habitual action. The present stem is khan, and the ending -and is attached because the subject, bacheha (children), is a third-person plural (they).
How do you make a word like bache (child) plural in Farsi?
You simply add the suffix -ha to the end of the word, turning bache into bacheha. The suffix -ha is the most common and standard way to make almost any noun plural in Farsi, whether it is a person or an object.
