Questions & Answers about همسر تو خیلی خوب آشپزی میکنه، اینطور نیست؟
Why does the verb end in -e (میکنه) instead of -ad (میکند)?
This is a core feature of conversational Tehrani Farsi. The formal 3rd-person singular ending for present tense verbs is -ad, making the formal word میکند (mikonad). In everyday speech, this -ad drops the 'd' and changes the vowel to sound like -e, resulting in میکنه (mikone).
Could I use میپزه (from پختن) instead of آشپزی میکنه here?
It is much better to use آشپزی کردن here. The verb پختن (pokhtan) means "to cook" or "to bake" but is typically used when you specify a direct object, like cooking rice or a specific meal. آشپزی کردن literally means "to do cooking" and is used when talking about the general skill, activity, or hobby of cooking without naming a specific dish.
Literally, what does the phrase اینطور نیست mean?
Literally translated, it means "is it not this way?". The word اینطور means "this way" or "like this," and نیست means "is not." It acts as a standard tag question at the end of a sentence, functioning exactly like asking "isn't it?" or "right?" in English.
Is there a difference between saying همسر تو and همسرت?
