Questions & Answers about ما برای مهمانی آمادهایم.
The current lesson is about impersonal states like sard-am ast (I am cold). Why do we use the standard verb ending -im here for being ready?
In Farsi, being ready is not treated as an impersonal physical sensation (like being cold or hungry) or a mental reflex (like forgetting). âmâde (ready) behaves like a normal adjective, so it takes the standard personal verb ending that matches the subject: âmâde-im (we are ready).
Why is âmâde-im written as آمادهایم with extra letters in the middle?
The word âmâde (آماده) ends in a silent letter that produces an 'e' sound. When you attach a verb ending like -im (we are) to a word ending in this silent vowel, Farsi spelling requires a bridge. We insert an extra letter combination (ای) so it is written as آمادهایم, but it is simply pronounced âmâde-im.
How does the word mehmâni (party) connect to the word for guest?
The root word is mehmân (مهمان), which translates to guest. By adding the suffix -i to the end, it turns into a noun representing the event where guests gather. Therefore, mehmâni (مهمانی) means a party or gathering.
Is the word mâ (we) strictly necessary at the beginning of the sentence?
No, it is completely optional. Because the verb ending -im in âmâde-im already tells us that the subject is 'we', dropping the mâ is very common in spoken Farsi. You can perfectly well just say .
