Questions & Answers about چهارشنبه با دوستم غذا میخورم.
Why is there no word for "on" before چهارشنبه (Wednesday)?
In Farsi, you don't need a preposition like "on" for days of the week. You simply use the day's name, چهارشنبه, to mean "on Wednesday".
Where is the word for "my" in دوستم?
Farsi often shows possession by adding a short ending (a suffix) directly to the noun. Here, دوست means friend, and adding the suffix م (-am) makes it دوستم (my friend).
Why is the word غذا (food) in the sentence if the English translation just says "I eat"?
When you want to say you are eating a meal but don't specify exactly what it is, Farsi sounds incomplete if you just use the verb alone. You pair the general word غذا (food) with the verb میخورم (I eat) to make the phrase complete.
Why is the verb میخورم at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi is a Subject-Object-Verb language, which means the main verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. The rest of the details, like when (چهارشنبه) and with whom (با دوستم), come before the action.
