من و مادرم قبل از کار در آشپزخانه صبحانه میخوریم.

In Persian, short possessive endings are often attached directly to nouns.

• مادر = mother
• مادرم = my mother

The ending -م means my.

So instead of saying something like mother of me, Persian usually just adds the ending:

• کتابم = my book
• دوستم = my friend
• مادرم = my mother

In pronunciation, مادرم sounds roughly like mâdaram.

Because the speaker wants to specify exactly who we are.

The verb می‌خوریم already includes we through the ending -یم, but Persian still often names the subject when it is important or not already obvious.

So:

• می‌خوریم = we eat / we are eating
• من و مادرم ... می‌خوریم = my mother and I eat / are eating

If the people were already clear from context, Persian could sometimes omit the full subject, but here the sentence is identifying it.

Both are possible.

• من و مادرم
• مادرم و من

Both mean my mother and I.

Persian does not have the same school-rule pressure that English has about saying X and I instead of me and X. Word order here is more about style, rhythm, or emphasis than strict grammar.

So من و مادرم is completely normal.

Here و means and, and in normal speech it is usually pronounced o.

So:

• من و مادرم sounds like man o mâdaram

This is very common in Persian:

• علی و رضا → Ali o Reza
• نان و پنیر → nân o panir

قبل از is a fixed expression meaning before.

• قبل = before
• از = from / of / than, depending on context

But in this phrase, you should learn قبل از as a unit:

• قبل از کار = before work
• قبل از غذا = before food / before the meal
• قبل از خواب = before sleep / before going to sleep

So even though از has meanings of its own, here it is simply part of the normal Persian way to say before + noun.

Persian does not use articles the same way English does.

کار can mean:

• work
• a job
• the work

The exact meaning depends on context.

So قبل از کار is most naturally understood as:

• before work
• before going to work
• sometimes before starting work

Persian often leaves this kind of definiteness unstated when it is obvious.

Yes. Persian usually puts the verb at the end of the clause.

This sentence is structured like this:

• من و مادرم = subject
• قبل از کار = time phrase
• در آشپزخانه = place phrase
• صبحانه = object / part of the verb expression
• می‌خوریم = verb

So Persian often builds the sentence by giving background information first, and then finishing with the verb.

A very common Persian pattern is:

Subject + time + place + object + verb

That is why the sentence feels more back-loaded than English.

In this sentence, it will normally be understood as we eat breakfast in the kitchen.

So the most natural grouping is:

• before work
• in the kitchen
• we eat breakfast

Technically, a listener could wonder for a moment whether work is somehow connected to the kitchen, but in normal interpretation در آشپزخانه goes with the breakfast-eating part.

If someone wanted to make the relationships clearer, they could rephrase the sentence, but as it stands, the usual reading is: My mother and I eat breakfast in the kitchen before work.

Because صبحانه خوردن is a very common verb-noun combination meaning to eat breakfast.

In Persian, some nouns combine very naturally with verbs and behave almost like part of a set expression:

• صبحانه خوردن = to eat breakfast
• شام خوردن = to eat dinner
• ناهار خوردن = to eat lunch

In these kinds of expressions, را is usually not used.

So:

• صبحانه می‌خوریم = we eat breakfast

This sounds natural and idiomatic.

می‌خوریم is the present tense form, and depending on context it can mean either:

• we eat (habitual / general)
• we are eating (present, ongoing)

Its parts are:

• می- = present/imperfective marker
• خور = verb stem from خوردن (to eat)
• -یم = we

So:

• می‌خوریم = we eat / we are eating

In this sentence, because of the general time phrase before work, the most natural meaning is probably habitual: we eat breakfast.

The standard spelling is:

• می‌خوریم

with a half-space (technically a zero-width non-joiner) between می and the verb.

However, many people write it informally as:

• میخوریم

So:

• می‌خوریم = standard and preferred
• میخوریم = common in casual typing

Both are understood, but learners should aim for می‌خوریم.

A natural pronunciation would be approximately:

man o mâdaram ghabl az kâr dar âshpazkhune sobhâne mixorim

A few notes:

• و is pronounced o
• آشپزخانه is often pronounced more like âshpazkhune in everyday speech
• می‌خوریم sounds like mixorim

A slower, more careful pronunciation would be closer to:

man o mâdaram ghabl az kâr dar âshpazxâne sobhâne mixorim

Usually not if you want the meaning my mother and I.

If you remove من, you get:

• مادرم قبل از کار در آشپزخانه صبحانه می‌خورد/می‌خوره = My mother eats breakfast in the kitchen before work

That would change the subject from we to my mother.

So من is necessary here because the sentence is naming both people in the subject: my mother and I.
