Questions & Answers about در مهر به مدرسه میروم.
What exactly is مهر (Mehr)?
مهر (Mehr) is the seventh month of the Persian solar calendar, falling roughly around late September to late October. It marks the beginning of autumn and is culturally significant because it is the exact month the school year starts in Iran.
Why does the sentence start with در مهر (in Mehr) instead of putting the time at the end like in English?
In Farsi, time expressions usually come at the beginning of the sentence or immediately after the subject. The standard word order places time before the place and the verb, which is why در مهر (in Mehr) comes right before the destination به مدرسه (to school).
How does the word میروم (mi-ravam) show who is doing the action?
In Farsi, the subject is built right into the end of the verb. The ending -م (-am) at the very end of میروم specifically means 'I'. Because of this personal ending, you do not even need to include the separate pronoun من (I) in the sentence.
What is the purpose of the می (mi-) prefix on the verb?
The prefix می (mi-) shows that an action is happening in the present, or that it is a regular, repeating habit. When you add it to the present stem رو (rav) of the verb 'to go', it builds the present tense meaning 'I go' or 'I am going'.
