Question 1

The English translation says 'apples', but isn't سیب singular?

Accepted Answer

Yes, سیب literally means 'apple'. In Farsi, when you talk about a category of things in a general way, you use the singular form. You don't need to add a plural ending unless you are talking about specific, countable apples (like 'the apples').

Question 2

Why is هم placed directly after سیب instead of at the end of the sentence?

Accepted Answer

In Farsi, the word هم (meaning 'also' or 'too') usually goes immediately after the word it emphasizes. Placing it right after سیب shows that you have apples in addition to whatever else was already mentioned.

Question 3

Since the verb داریم ends in -یم which means 'we', do we have to include ما at the beginning?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't have to! Farsi is a language where you can drop the subject pronoun because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. Saying سیب هم داریم without ما is completely natural and very common in everyday speech.

Question 4

Why is the verb داریم at the very end of the sentence?

Accepted Answer

Farsi sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb word order. The subject (ما) comes first, followed by the object you have (سیب), and the verb (داریم) is placed at the end to complete the thought.
