Questions & Answers about من خبر دارم که او خرافات را باور میکند.
How is ke acting in this sentence?
The word ke translates to 'that'. It acts as a bridge connecting the phrase khabar dāram (I am aware) to the specific fact you are aware of. Whenever you use verbs of thinking, speaking, or knowing in Farsi, you will use ke right after them to introduce the next part of the sentence.
Why use khabar dāram instead of midānam for 'I know'?
While midānam is the standard verb for 'I know', khabar dāram literally translates to 'I have news' or 'I am informed'. Farsi speakers frequently use khabar dāram when talking about being aware of a specific situation, secret, or piece of news.
Why do we need the object marker rā after khorāfāt (superstitions)?
The word rā marks the direct object of a sentence. With the compound verb bāvar kardan (to believe), the thing being believed typically takes rā. This makes it completely clear that khorāfāt is the target of the believing action.
How is the verb bāvar mikonad built?
This is a classic Farsi compound verb. It combines the noun bāvar (belief) with the present tense of kardan (to do). So, bāvar mikonad literally means 'he does belief'. Because the subject is u (he), we conjugate the helper verb to its third-person singular form.
