Questions & Answers about ماساژ آرامبخش است و من از آن خوشم میآید.
How does the grammar of خوشم میآید work here? Why isn't the verb conjugated for "I"?
This uses an experiencer verb structure. In Farsi, instead of saying "I like it" directly, you literally say "My pleasure comes from it." The word خوش (pleasure) takes the possessive ending ـَم (my). The verb میآید (comes) stays in the 3rd person singular because its grammatical subject is the pleasure, not you.
Why do we need the word از before آن?
The verb phrase خوش آمدن always pairs with the preposition از (from) to show what causes the feeling. Literally, your pleasure comes "from" something. Whenever you state what you like using this verb, you must introduce the object with از.
Since the ending on خوشم already means "me", why is the word من included in the sentence?
The independent pronoun من is optional here because the enclitic ـَم already identifies you as the experiencer. Including من adds emphasis or contrast, making it sound more like "and as for me, I like it."
How is the word آرامبخش (relaxing) constructed?
It is a compound word made of two parts. آرام means peace or calm, and بخش is the present stem of the verb بخشیدن (to give or bestow). Put together, it literally means "peace-giving," which translates perfectly to relaxing.
