Questions & Answers about علاوه بر اون جعبهها، دارم این پالتها رو بارگیری میکنم.
Does the phrase علاوه بر need an ezâfe connector to link it to the next word?
No. The phrase علاوه بر (alâve bar) translates to 'in addition to'. Because بر (bar) is already a preposition (meaning 'on' or 'upon'), it links directly to the following word اون (un) without needing the 'e' sound of an ezâfe.
Why do we use اون and رو in this sentence instead of آن and را?
This sentence is written in a conversational, spoken register. In everyday spoken Farsi, the word آن (ân, meaning 'that' or 'those') changes to اون (un), and the direct object marker را (râ) softens to رو (ro).
I see دارم and میکنم separated by several words. Is this the present continuous tense?
Yes! To emphasize that an action is happening right now, Farsi uses a helper verb. The conjugated form of داشتن (to have), which is دارم (dâram) here, pairs with the main verb بارگیری میکنم (bârgiri mikonam) to mean 'I am currently loading'. In this structure, the direct object (این پالتها رو) naturally sits right between the helper verb and the main verb.
How is the compound verb بارگیری میکنم formed?
