Q: The verb بلند میشوم translates to "I get up". What does the word بلند mean on its own?

On its own, بلند usually means "tall" or "high", and میشوم means "I become". So the compound verb بلند شدن literally means "to become high"—which is the everyday Farsi way of saying "to get up" or "to stand up".

Question 1

Why is روز (day) singular here after هر? Don't we do this multiple times?

Accepted Answer

When you use the word هر (every/each), the noun that follows it must always be singular in Farsi, just like in English! So, we say هر روز (every day), never هر روزها (every days).

Question 2

Where is the word for "at" in ساعت شش (at six)?

Accepted Answer

In Farsi, you don't need a preposition like "at" when stating the time an action happens. You can just drop ساعت شش (literally "hour six") directly into the sentence, and the "at" is naturally understood.

Question 3

The verb بلند می‌شوم translates to "I get up". What does the word بلند mean on its own?

Accepted Answer

On its own, بلند usually means "tall" or "high", and می‌شوم means "I become". So the compound verb بلند شدن literally means "to become high"—which is the everyday Farsi way of saying "to get up" or "to stand up".

Question 4

Why are the time phrases هر روز and ساعت شش placed right after the subject من?

Accepted Answer

In Farsi, time phrases usually go near the beginning of the sentence, often right after the subject and before any objects or verbs. You can also place time phrases at the very beginning of the sentence (before the subject) to emphasize when something happens.
