Questions & Answers about فردا میرم خونه و بعد میرم پاساژ.
Why is the present tense miram used here to mean "I will go"?
In everyday spoken Farsi, the present indicative (miram) paired with a future time word like fardâ is the standard way to express the future. The formal future tense (khâham raft) is almost never used in casual conversation, as it sounds too stiff and distant.
Since this sentence is about the future, could I say fardâ khâham raft khune instead?
Technically yes, but it would sound very unnatural. Mixing the highly formal khâham raft with the highly informal spoken word khune (instead of the written khâne) creates a mismatched tone. When using spoken vocabulary, always stick to the mi- present tense for the future.
Why is there no preposition like be before khune or pâsâzh?
In colloquial Farsi, verbs of motion like raftan (to go) usually drop the preposition be (to) when the destination is clear. Saying miram khune and miram pâsâzh is much more natural in speech than adding the preposition.
Is pâsâzh the only word for a shopping center?
Pâsâzh is a very common French loanword used for a shopping arcade or mall. You will also frequently hear the literal translation markaz-e kharid, but pâsâzh fits perfectly with the casual, conversational tone of this sentence.
