Questions & Answers about برای زود رسیدن، موتور را داغ نکن!
Why do we use dāgh nakon (from kardan) instead of the shodan version of this verb?
Because you are doing the action to a specific object. The engine is receiving the action, so we use the transitive verb dāgh kardan (to make hot). If the engine simply got hot on its own without you actively doing it, you would use the intransitive verb dāgh shodan (to become hot).
How does barāye zud residan translate to 'arriving early'?
In Farsi, the full infinitive form of a verb like residan (to arrive) also acts as a verbal noun, similar to an -ing word in English (arriving). The preposition barāye (for) must be followed by a noun-like word, so barāye zud residan literally means for early arriving.
Why does the object marker rā come between motor and dāgh?
The word rā marks the specific direct object of the sentence. Here, the specific engine (motor) is the object receiving the action. The marker rā must immediately follow that noun, placing it right before the compound verb dāgh kardan starts.
Why is the verb command nakon instead of nakonid?
