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)

- Be - In/with (preposition)
