Questions & Answers about من خود این کسب و کار را تاسیس کردم.
Why is it just خود instead of خودم for 'myself'?
In spoken Farsi, you normally add the personal suffix to say خودم (I myself). However, in written or slightly formal Farsi, the plain word خود can be used without a suffix as an emphatic pronoun for any person. It emphasizes that 'I myself' did the action.
What is the literal meaning of the words in کسب و کار?
کسب means 'earning' or 'acquiring' and کار means 'work'. Together they form a fixed compound noun that means 'business' or 'trade'. When spoken, the conjunction 'vav' (and) is usually just pronounced as an 'o' sound.
Why does the object marker را come at the very end of این کسب و کار?
The specific direct object in this sentence is the entire phrase 'this business'. Because این کسب و کار acts as a single, inseparable block, the object marker را must attach to the very end of the whole noun phrase, not directly to 'business'.
What tense is تاسیس کردم and what are its parts?
It is a compound verb in the simple past tense. It pairs the noun تاسیس (establishment or foundation) with the light verb کردن (to do). Conjugated for the first person, it means 'I established' or 'I founded'.
