if you mix up “ra” and “ro” in a sentence, the meaning stays the same because both serve as the direct object marker in Farsi. The choice between the two does not affect the fundamental meaning of the sentence but rather the level of formality or the context in which it’s used. “Ra” is more formal and typically seen in written or formal contexts, while “ro” is more informal and commonly used in spoken Persian. Regardless of which one you use, the function—indicating the direct object—remains unchanged.
- zabanhāyi - languages (zaban means language, -hā is a pluralizer, -yi is a marker for indefiniteness)
- ro - (object marker, similar to ‘the’ in English)
- mishnasi - you know (mi- is a present tense marker, -i is a second person singular ending)
- Be - In/with (preposition)
- che - which

- movazebe - be careful / be cautious

You can speak Farsi? (2)
Have a good night!
Yes, I actually know a Persian song, I think it’s super old though, it goes like this:
تو می‌توانی فارسی صحبت کنی؟
- To mitavānī fārsī sohbat konī?
( use “betavāni” for informal)
تو می‌توانی فارسی حرف بزنی؟
- To mitavāni Fārsi harf bezani?”
Shab-e khobi dashte bashi!
آره، در واقع یه آهنگ فارسی بلدم، فکر کنم خیلی قدیمیه، اینجوریه:
- Are, dar vāqe’ ye āhang-e Fārsi baladam, fekr konam kheili ghadimiye, injooriye:
- mitavānī - می‌توانی - can, to be able to
- sohbat - صحبت - speak
- konī - کنی - (you) do/make (subjunctive)
In the question “تو می‌توانی فارسی صحبت کنی؟” (To mitavānī fārsī sohbat konī?), “koni” (کنی) is used instead of “mikoni” (می‌کنی) because the verb is in the subjunctive mood due to its use with the modal verb “mitavānī” (می‌توانی - you can). When a verb is used with a modal verb like “mitavānī,” which expresses ability or possibility, the following verb is in the subjunctive form, which in this case is “koni” (کنی - to do/make).
(Farsi)
