خانه ما از رستوران دور است، اما از مدرسه دور نیست.

A careful pronunciation is:

khâne-ye mâ az restoran dur ast, ammâ az madrese dur nist.

A few notes:

• خانه = khâne
• خانه ما is pronounced khâne-ye mâ
• رستوران = restoran
• دور = dur
• اما = ammâ
• مدرسه = madrese
• نیست = nist

In everyday speech, you may also hear a more colloquial version like:

Khuneye mâ az restoran dure, ammâ az madrese dur nist.

In Persian, possessors usually come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• خانه = house
• ما = we / us / our

Together, خانه ما literally means house of us, which in natural English is our house.

This is a very common Persian pattern:

• کتاب من = my book
• دوست شما = your friend
• خانه ما = our house

So for an English speaker, the main adjustment is: Persian usually says noun + possessor rather than possessor + noun.

That -ye sound is called ezafe.

Persian often uses ezafe to connect a noun to:

• a possessor
• an adjective
• another related noun

So خانه ما is pronounced khâne-ye mâ, even though the ezafe is usually not written in normal spelling.

This means:

• written: خانه ما
• pronounced: khâne-ye mâ

This is completely normal in Persian and is something learners need to get used to. Native speakers hear that connection automatically.

Because Persian expresses far from with دور از or, in sentence structure, از ... دور.

So:

• از رستوران دور است = it is far from the restaurant
• از مدرسه دور نیست = it is not far from the school

Here از means from.

A very literal breakdown is:

• از رستوران دور است = from the restaurant far is
• از مدرسه دور نیست = from the school far is not

This is the normal Persian way to talk about distance from something.

The sentence is:

خانه ما از رستوران دور است، اما از مدرسه دور نیست.

A useful breakdown is:

• خانه ما = our house
• از رستوران = from the restaurant
• دور = far
• است = is
• اما = but
• از مدرسه = from the school
• دور نیست = is not far

So the literal order is close to:

Our house from the restaurant far is, but from the school far is not.

That may sound unusual in English, but it is natural in Persian. Persian often puts the descriptive word, like دور, before است / نیست.

Because Persian often omits repeated subjects when they are already clear from context.

In English, we normally say:

Our house is far from the restaurant, but it is not far from the school.

In Persian, once خانه ما has already been mentioned, the second clause does not need to repeat it.

So this:

خانه ما از رستوران دور است، اما از مدرسه دور نیست.

is understood as:

Our house is far from the restaurant, but [our house / it] is not far from the school.

This kind of omission is very common and natural in Persian.

نیست is the standard negative form meaning is not.

So:

• است = is
• نیست = is not

In this sentence:

• دور است = is far
• دور نیست = is not far

For learners, it is best to memorize نیست as a whole form. It is extremely common in Persian.

In everyday speech, نیست is often pronounced more casually as نیس.

Because the second clause still needs the idea far.

Compare:

• از مدرسه دور نیست = it is not far from the school
• از مدرسه نیست = it is not from the school

Those mean very different things.

So Persian must repeat دور here, just as English repeats far in not far from the school.

Persian does not have a definite article like English the.

So:

• رستوران can mean restaurant or the restaurant
• مدرسه can mean school or the school

The exact meaning depends on context.

In this sentence, the translation uses the restaurant and the school because that is what sounds natural in English. But Persian itself does not need a separate word for the.

In formal writing, yes, you normally write است.

In speech, especially casual speech, it is often shortened.

For example:

• دور است may sound like دوره
• نیست may sound like نیس

So a spoken version might sound closer to:

خونه‌مون از رستوران دوره، اما از مدرسه دور نیس.

That is more colloquial. The written sentence you were given is standard and correct.

Yes. Both are correct.

• خانه ما = our house
• خانه‌مان = our house

The second version uses an attached possessive ending:

• ـم = my
• ـت = your
• ـش = his/her
• ـمان = our
• ـتان = your
• ـشان = their

So:

• خانه ما and خانه‌مان both mean our house

The version with the separate word ما is very clear for learners. The attached version is also extremely common in real Persian.
