Questions & Answers about مشتری خرید خود را در سبد گذاشت.
Why is خود (khod) used here instead of a possessive ending like خریدش (kharid-esh)?
Both work! خود (khod) means "self" and is often used to mean "his own", "her own", or "my own" depending on the subject of the sentence. Using خرید خود emphasizes that it was his own shopping. You could also safely say خریدش (kharid-esh) here.
I thought خرید (kharid) was the past tense of "to buy". Why is it translated as "shopping" here?
In Farsi, the past stem of a verb is sometimes used as a standalone noun. خرید is the past stem of خریدن (kharidan - to buy), but when used as a noun, it means "shopping" or "a purchase".
Why does را (rā) come after خود instead of immediately after خرید?
The specific object marker را always comes at the very end of the entire noun phrase that is receiving the action. Here, the direct object is the whole phrase خرید خود (his own shopping), so را is placed at the end of that phrase.
What is the infinitive of the verb گذاشت (gozasht)?
It comes from the verb گذاشتن (gozashtan), which means "to put" or "to place". Its present stem is گذار (gozar). The past stem گذاشت is used here because the sentence is in the simple past tense.
