From Lesson 187:Immediate past (tâze)·Farsi

Questions & Answers about راننده تازه آدرس را پیدا کرده است.

Why does the word tâze, which usually means 'fresh', mean 'just' in this sentence?
When tâze is used with a verb in the Present Perfect tense, like peydâ kardeh ast (has found), it acts as an adverb of immediate past. It changes the meaning to 'just' or 'recently', showing the driver found the address moments ago.
How is the Present Perfect tense built in the verb peydâ kardeh ast?
It is formed by taking the past participle of the compound verb peydâ kardan (to find), which is peydâ kardeh, and adding the present tense forms of the verb 'to be'. Since the driver is third-person singular, we add ast.
Why is used after âdres?
marks the definite direct object. Because the driver found a specific, known address ('the address') rather than just any random address, âdres needs the definite marker immediately following it.
How would a native speaker say this sentence in casual conversation?
In spoken Farsi, the object marker becomes ro. Also, the formal Present Perfect kardeh ast is usually shortened by dropping the ast. A native speaker would say: rânandeh tâze âdres ro peydâ kardeh.
