Questions & Answers about ما از آب سرد وان بدمان میآید.
Why does the verb میآید end in the third-person singular form instead of the 'we' form?
This is an experiencer verb. In Farsi, feelings often happen to you. The literal translation of بدمان میآید is 'our bad comes'. The grammatical subject of the verb is the feeling itself ('bad'), which acts as an 'it', so we use the third-person singular verb میآید. We show who is feeling it by attaching the pronoun مان (our) to بد.
Why do we use the preposition از here?
The full phrase for 'to dislike' is بد آمدن از. Farsi uses از (from) to point to the thing causing the bad feeling. You can think of it literally as 'our bad comes from the cold water'.
Since بدمان already shows that 'we' are experiencing the dislike, is the word ما at the beginning required?
It is not strictly required, but it is very common. Because the main verb at the end of the sentence (میآید) does not match the person experiencing the feeling, starting with the independent pronoun ما helps establish exactly who the sentence is about right from the start.
How do the words آب سرد وان connect together?
They use an ezafe chain, pronounced as آبِ سردِ وان (ab-e sard-e van). The first ezafe connects the noun آب (water) to its adjective سرد (cold), and the second ezafe connects 'cold water' to its possessor, وان (bathtub).
