Questions & Answers about میخوام کوسنا رو اینجا بذارم، اما بالشا سنگینن.
How do the plurals work in کوسنا and بالشا?
In spoken Tehrani, the plural suffix ها often shrinks to just ـا (an â sound) when attached to a word ending in a consonant. So, کوسن (cushion) becomes کوسنا instead of کوسنها, and بالش (pillow) becomes بالشا instead of بالشها.
Why is the verb بذارم used here instead of میذارم?
Because it follows میخوام (I want). Verbs that come after 'want' need to be in the subjunctive mood, which usually starts with a بـ prefix. So 'I want to put' is میخوام... بذارم.
Wait, shouldn't 'I put' in the subjunctive be بگذارم? Why is the گ missing in بذارم?
Yes, the formal written form is بگذارم (from the infinitive گذاشتن). In everyday spoken Farsi, the گ is often dropped to make the word easier and faster to say, resulting in بذارم (bezâram).
What is the ن at the end of سنگینن?
It's the spoken form of the verb 'are' attached to the adjective. The formal written version is سنگیناند or سنگین هستند. In spoken Farsi, the 3rd-person plural ending ـند (-and) drops the final 'd' sound, leaving just ـن (-an). So سنگین (heavy) + ـن (are) = سنگینن.
Why is there a رو right after کوسنا?
رو is the conversational form of را, which marks the specific direct object of the sentence. Since you are talking about putting these specific cushions, they need this marker. In formal writing, this whole phrase would be کوسنها را.
