Questions & Answers about در بهار باران میآید.
Why does this sentence use the verb میآید (comes) instead of a specific verb for "to rain"?
Farsi doesn't have a single verb that means "to rain". Instead, it uses the noun باران (rain) with the verb آمدن (to come). So, literally, this sentence says "In spring, rain comes." You will see this same pattern for snow: برف میآید (snow comes).
Where is the word for "it" in this sentence?
English uses a "dummy" subject in weather sentences like "it rains." Farsi doesn't use these. The actual subject of this sentence is باران (rain), which is doing the action of coming (میآید).
Why does در بهار (in spring) come before the subject?
While the main subject (باران) usually goes first in Farsi, time phrases like در بهار are frequently placed at the absolute beginning of a sentence to set the scene. You could also say باران در بهار میآید, but putting the time first sounds very natural here.
Why does the verb have the می prefix?
The prefix می (mi) marks the habitual or continuous present tense. Because raining in spring is a general fact or recurring habit, می is added to the present stem of the verb to show that this is something that regularly happens.
