Questions & Answers about میخوام بعضی از قلمنیها رو بردارم.
How is ba'zi az used in this sentence?
Ba'zi az means "some of" and is used to refer to a portion of a specific group. In Farsi, it is followed by a plural noun. That is why ghalam-ney (reed pen) takes the plural suffix -hâ, becoming ghalam-ney-hâ.
Why does the direct object marker ro come after the noun rather than earlier in the phrase?
The word ro (the spoken form of râ) must always come at the very end of the direct object phrase. Because the entire phrase ba'zi az ghalam-ney-hâ (some of the reed pens) is the direct object of the verb, ro is placed right at the end of it.
Why is the second verb bar-dâram instead of bar-mi-dâram?
The verb khâstan (to want) requires the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood. The verb bar-dâshtan (to pick up or take) is a compound verb. To make it subjunctive, we drop the regular mi- prefix. Verbs starting with bar- usually don't take the subjunctive be- prefix either, leaving us with just bar- plus the present stem and ending: bar-dâram.
I see mi-khâm and ro here. Are these spoken forms?
Yes! This sentence is written exactly how a Farsi speaker would say it in casual conversation. In formal written Farsi, mi-khâm (I want) would be mi-khâham, and ro would be râ.
