Questions & Answers about او از حق خود صحبت کرد.
Why does this sentence use az when it translates to "about"?
While az usually means "from", the verb sohbat kardan (to speak) pairs with it to mean speaking "about" a topic. In Farsi, you literally speak "from" a subject.
Why is the word khod used for "his" instead of the possessive ending -esh?
khod is a reflexive pronoun meaning "self". When the person owning the object is the same as the subject of the sentence (He spoke about his own rights), Farsi prefers using khod, though hagh-esh would also be understood.
Is there a hidden linking vowel in hagh khod?
Yes, there is an ezafe vowel connecting the two words, pronounced as hagh-e khod. This short "e" sound is used to link a noun to its possessor, even though it isn't written in the standard Farsi alphabet.
Does u specifically mean "he"?
No, Farsi pronouns are gender-neutral. u can mean "he" or "she". The English translation says "he" just to make the sentence complete, but in real life, context tells you who is being discussed.
