Questions & Answers about در آبان باران میآید.
How does Farsi express "it rains" in this sentence?
Instead of using a dummy word like "it" for the weather, Farsi makes the weather itself the subject. To say "it rains," you literally say "rain comes" (باران میآید).
What time of year is آبان (Aban)?
آبان is the eighth month of the Iranian solar calendar, falling right in the middle of autumn (roughly late October to late November). That is why it is associated with rainy weather!
Why does the verb میآید have the می prefix here?
The verb میآید is from آمدن (to come). The prefix می is used for actions happening right now, but also for habits and general facts. Because it generally rains every year in Aban, this sentence uses the habitual present tense.
Do you always use در to say "in" a certain month?
Yes! Just like in English, you use the preposition در (in) before months and seasons. You can say در آبان (in Aban) or در پاییز (in autumn).
