Question 3

Structure =

I want something = I + something + want

Subject + khaastan + (BE+stem+ endings) = conjugate

(BE+Stem = exactly as imperatives, just have to add endings)

+ In farsi = would like = to want

E.g.

I want some bread
She wants food
I’d like a pizza
We want freedom

Answer 3

Structure =

I want something = Stem/I + something + want

Subject + khaastan + (BE+stem+ endings)

(BE+Stem = exactly as imperatives, just have to add endings)

+ In farsi = would like = to want

E.g.

I want some bread = yekkam noon mikhaam

She wants food = oon ghazaa mikhaad

I’d like a pizza = man ye pizza mikhaam

We want freedom = man azadi mikhaaim

Question 4

More e.gs
