ماشین من کثیف است و پدرم دارد آن را تمیز میکند.

In Persian, possessive phrases usually put the thing possessed first and the owner after it.

So:

• ماشین من = my car
• literally closer to car of me

This is the normal Persian pattern, so English and Persian use different word order here.

Both mean possession, but Persian has two common ways to say my:

1. Separate pronoun

   • ماشین من = my car

2. Attached possessive ending

   • پدرم = my father
   • the -م means my

So پدرم is really:

• پدر + م = father + my

You could also say:

• پدر من = my father
• ماشینم = my car

So the sentence mixes two perfectly valid styles.

Yes. There is usually an ezafe sound, pronounced like -e.

So ماشین من is pronounced more like:

• mâshin-e man

This -e links the noun to what comes after it, here the possessor. In normal writing, that sound is often not written explicitly, so learners have to get used to recognizing it.

It is:

• کثیف = dirty
• است = is

So the structure is:

• ماشین من کثیف است
• My car is dirty

This is a very common Persian pattern:

• noun + adjective + است

In everyday spoken Persian, است is often shortened or changed in pronunciation, so you will often hear:

• ماشینم کثیفه

instead of the more formal ماشین من کثیف است.

This is how Persian can make the action clearly ongoing right now.

• دارد = is having / is in the process of
• می‌کند = does / is doing

Together in this kind of sentence, they mean:

• is cleaning
• is in the middle of cleaning

So:

• پدرم دارد آن را تمیز می‌کند
• My father is cleaning it

If you said only تمیز می‌کند, it could mean cleans or sometimes is cleaning, depending on context. Adding دارد makes the continuous meaning more explicit.

را is the direct object marker. It usually marks a specific or definite direct object.

So in:

• آن را تمیز می‌کند

the آن را is the thing being cleaned.

A very literal breakdown would be:

• آن = that / it
• را = marks it as the direct object

English does not have a separate word like را, so it usually is not translated directly. It just helps show that it is the object of the verb.

In Persian, words like آن and این often do double duty:

• آن can mean that
• but it can also function like it / that one, especially in formal language

So آن را in this sentence naturally refers back to the car.

In everyday spoken Persian, people usually say:

• اون رو

instead of the more formal:

• آن را

It is a compound verb, which is very common in Persian.

The full verb is:

• تمیز کردن = to clean

It is made of:

• تمیز = clean
• کردن = to do

So Persian often says something closer to do clean where English uses a single verb clean.

When the verb changes, the کردن part changes:

• تمیز می‌کند = cleans / is cleaning
• تمیز کرد = cleaned
• تمیز خواهد کرد = will clean

The تمیز part stays the same.

Because Persian is usually a subject-object-verb language.

In the second clause:

• پدرم = subject
• آن را = object
• تمیز می‌کند = verb

So the order is:

• My father it cleans
• which in natural English becomes My father is cleaning it

This verb-final pattern is one of the biggest differences between Persian and English.

Yes. A more conversational version might be:

• ماشینم کثیفه و بابام داره اون رو تمیز می‌کنه

or even:

• ماشینم کثیفه و بابام داره تمیزش می‌کنه

Some common spoken changes are:

• ماشینم instead of ماشین من
• کثیفه instead of کثیف است
• بابام instead of پدرم if you mean my dad
• داره instead of دارد
• می‌کنه instead of می‌کند
• اون رو instead of آن را

So the original sentence is correct, but it sounds a bit more formal or written.

The standard spelling is:

• می‌کند

with a half-space between می and the verb stem.

But in informal typing, many people write:

• میکند

without the half-space.

So:

• می‌کند = standard spelling
• میکند = very common informal typing

They mean the same thing. As a learner, it is good to recognize both, but the standard written form is می‌کند.
