Questions & Answers about من برنامهریزی میکنم، میخوام برم ویلا.
What is the formal written version of میخوام in this sentence?
The formal written form is میخواهم. In spoken Tehrani Farsi, the stem خواه shrinks and loses the 'h' sound, merging with the personal ending to become the much shorter میخوام.
Why do we use برم here instead of the regular spoken present tense میرم (I go)?
In Farsi, when you link two verbs like 'want to go', the second verb must be in the subjunctive mood. Since the first verb is میخوام (I want), the second verb 'to go' takes the subjunctive prefix ب and becomes برم (that I go).
What is the formal, written form of the subjunctive verb برم?
The formal form is بروم. Just like how the present tense میروم (I go) becomes میرم in spoken Farsi, the subjunctive بروم loses the 'v' sound and shrinks down to برم.
How does the word برنامهریزی translate to 'making plans'?
It is made of two parts: برنامه meaning 'program' or 'plan', and ریزی which comes from the verb ریختن (to pour or to arrange). Together with میکنم, it forms the compound verb برنامهریزی کردن, literally 'to do plan-arranging', which simply means 'to plan'.
Why isn't there a preposition for 'to' before ویلا?
In formal Farsi, you would say به ویلا (to the villa). However, in everyday spoken Farsi, the preposition به (to) is almost always dropped after verbs of motion like going (رفتن).
