Questions & Answers about آشغالا رو تو کیسه بذار، نه کنار چنگالا.
How do the plural endings work in آشغالا and چنگالا?
In spoken Tehrani Farsi, the standard plural suffix ها shrinks to just ا (an â sound) when attached to a word that ends in a consonant. So, آشغال (trash) becomes آشغالا instead of آشغالها, and چنگال (fork) becomes چنگالا instead of چنگالها.
Why is آشغالا pluralized when the English translation is the singular word trash?
In English, words for trash and garbage are typically uncountable. In Farsi, however, it is very common to treat them as countable and use the plural form when referring to the physical pieces of garbage you are gathering or throwing away.
What verb does بذار come from?
بذار is the spoken, shortened form of بگذار, which is the imperative (command) form of گذاشتن (to put). In casual everyday speech, the g sound in the middle is almost always dropped.
Why do we use رو after آشغالا?
رو is the spoken version of the direct object marker را. Because you are telling someone to move a specific object (the trash), it needs this marker. In colloquial Farsi, words ending in a vowel sound, like the â at the end of آشغالا, take رو, while words ending in a consonant usually just take a spoken o sound.
