Question 1

What is the difference between using har yek az here instead of har kodâm az?

Accepted Answer

There is no practical difference in meaning. Both har yek az and har kodâm az mean "each one of" and are completely interchangeable in this sentence. As distributive partitive pronouns, they both require a plural noun or plural pronoun like ânhâ (them) to follow the preposition az.

Question 2

Why does the direct object marker râ come after ânhâ rather than right after har yek?

Accepted Answer

The direct object marker râ always attaches to the very end of the entire noun phrase that acts as the object. Because the complete thing being decorated is the whole phrase har yek az ânhâ (each one of them), râ must sit at the end of that block.

Question 3

Why is the verb split, with dârad near the beginning and taziin mikonad at the end?

Accepted Answer

This is the standard structure for the present continuous tense in Persian. It uses a conjugated form of dâštan (here, dârad) as an auxiliary verb, and the main verb in the present progressive (taziin mikonad). It is completely normal to "sandwich" the direct object phrase right between these two verb components.

Question 4

The translation says "baker," but does ghannâd refer to someone who bakes everyday bread?

Accepted Answer

Not usually. A ghannâd is specifically a pastry chef or confectioner—someone who makes sweets, pastries, and cakes. This makes perfect sense in this context, since they are "decorating" the items. A traditional bread baker would instead be called a nânvâ.
