Questions & Answers about اگه اخبار رو بخونی، قوانین جدید رو میفهمی.
The word اخبار (akhbâr) means news. Is this one of the Arabic broken plurals?
Yes! It is the broken plural of خبر (khabar), meaning a piece of news or a report. In Farsi, اخبار is the standard word used for the news (like a TV news broadcast), much like how news looks plural in English.
I know the word قانون (ghânoon) for law. Is قوانین (ghavânin) its plural?
Exactly. قوانین is the Arabic broken plural of قانون. While you might sometimes see قانونها using the standard Farsi plural suffix, قوانین is extremely common and is the default way to say laws or rules in Persian.
Why does the first verb use the subjunctive (بخونی) but the second verb uses the indicative (میفهمی)?
This is a standard conditional sentence about a realistic situation. After اگه (if), the condition is still uncertain, so the verb takes the subjunctive form بخونی (if you read / were to read). The second part is the definite result of that action, so it uses the standard present indicative میفهمی (you understand / will understand).
In the phrase قوانین جدید رو, why is the object marker رو placed after the adjective instead of the noun?
The direct object marker رو (the spoken form of را) always attaches to the very end of the entire noun phrase. Since جدید (new) modifies the noun, they form a single descriptive block. Therefore, رو must go at the end of the whole phrase, not in the middle.
