Questions & Answers about در آذر هوا سرد میشود.
Why do we use میشود here instead of است?
If we used است (is), the sentence would mean the weather is already cold. میشود comes from the verb شدن (to become). In Farsi, when we want to express a change of state like the weather getting or becoming cold, we use میشود.
What time of year is آذر?
آذر is the ninth month of the Iranian solar calendar. It roughly covers late November to late December. This gives context to the sentence, as it is the exact time of year when autumn ends and the weather gets cold.
Does هوا mean weather or air?
It means both! هوا translates to weather or air depending on the context. Here, it naturally means weather. Notice also that Farsi does not use a direct equivalent for the word the in this sentence; you simply say هوا.
Why is the verb میشود at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi usually follows a Subject-Object-Verb word order, meaning the conjugated verb is almost always placed at the very end. The time phrase در آذر (in Azar) comes first, followed by the subject هوا (weather), and finally the verb phrase سرد میشود (gets cold).
