Is this correct? (I took the 1st person just for example)

I go ---- man miroam
I say ---- man migooyam
I write ---- man minevisam
I read --- man mikhanam
I wash --- man mishooyam/mishooram
I come ---- man miayam
I smile (oh yes I do ) ---- man mikhandam
I take ---- man migiram/mibaram
I give ---- man mideham

And as for the other infinitives, I just have to remove the -an and do subject + mi + (infinitive - «an») + suffix?

I want ---- man mikhastam
I watch ---- man tamasha mikardam
I speak ---- man harf mizadam

Awwwwwwwww I'm glad it's easy for you...I tried to explain step by step so you don't mix them up!
in the first part you did a great job, the only mistae is in the first line,but don't worry it's not your fault cause it's a grammar exception

I go= Man miravam---------Man miram(informal)

But the second part, what you wrote in the second part is something like "past continuous"""

In the formula I told you that you need " the present root of the verb" and if you omit the "an" at the end of infinitive, it gives you "the past root of the verb"and you can't use "past root" for present tense!!! ...so for Simple Present you have to use a present root that there is no specific rule to find it and you have to memorise it

For example, conjugate this verb for me:
" To want">>>>>the present root is "Khah"خواه

Oh okay I understand now And in the speaking form I recognize what I've read in lyrics.

I'm not sure about the informal form ^^

To want/Khastan

I want = Man mikhaham ---- man mikham
You want = To mikhahi ---- to mikhi
He/she wants = Ou/Oun mikhahad ---- ou/oun mikhe
We want = Ma mikhahim ---- ma mikhim
You want = Shoma mikhahid ---- shoma mikhin
They want = Anha mikhahand ---- ouna mikhan

You want = Shoma mikhahid ---- shoma mikhin
They want = Anha mikhahand ---- ouna mikhan

Nice job...the formal form is totally correctbut "Oun" is informal and should be used in informal form...so that would be like "Ou mikhahad"...

The informal form:
Man mikham>>من میخوام
To mikhay>>تو میخوای
Oun mikhad>>اون میخواد
Ma mikhaym>>ما میخوایم
Shoma mikhayd>>شما میخواید
Ouna mikhan>>اونا میخوان

Oh, bahale! Thanks for the corrections, dear So if you want to conjugate a verb, there are 3 things to know, right? Its infinitive, its present root and its informal form.

Khahesh mikonam, yeah kind of, you know, for making "Simple Present/Present continous/Simple future/" infinitive can't help you very much....cause the main thing is "Present root" which can't be found in infinitive...but for past tenses infinitive can be very important for making "Past root"

Okay Kheyli mamnoon for these very clear explanations dear Pinky, I'm gonna work to carve this all in my grey matter I'm glad I learned so much from your lesson!

You're welcome dear as you know , practice makes perfect!!! So try to practice till it stick to your mind

Pretty Please help me with this!

I want to say:
Congratulations to your wedding. I hope this marriage brings you lots of happiness because you deserve it!

"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out."

I hope you will always feel this when you look at your husband. I hope he will treat you like the diamond that you are and never ever make you cry. I miss you! I hope to see you soon!

Is this correct? Could you please complete the parts i didnt know? Thank you!!

The second sentence is correctwell done!

I hope you will always feel this when you look at your husband. I hope he will treat you like the diamond that you are and never ever make you cry. I miss you! I hope to see you soon!

***what does "this" refer to? in the sentence "I hope you will feel this..."***you mean she feels love when she look at her husband?

I hope he will treat you like the diamond that you are and never ever make you cry. I miss you! I hope to see you soon!

I refer to the quote, the feeling it explains.

Thank you soo much for your help!! I really appreciate it! )

Asr bekheyr! Chetori dooste azizam?

I already miss learning Farsi!! And I have some questions for you ^^

- What are the present roots for these verbs lotfan: dashtan, kardan, khabidan, khordan, pokhtan, nooshidan, zadan?

- Is this conjugation of Amadan in simple present correct?

Man miayam
To miayi
Ou miayad
Ma miayim
Shoma miayid
Anha miayand

Does it have an informal form? Is it the same verb when we say for example: "az in kheyli khosham miyad"?

- When we say: Man midoonam, To midooni etc, is it a formal or an informal form? What is the infinitive for this verb (to know)?

- If I want to use a negation form, I just have to add ne ن before mi? Like this نمی ?

Mamnoon!

Asr bekhheyr Ma hamegi khoobim(We're all fine)

The present root for these verbs are:

dashtan=Dar>>دار
I have=Man daram

You have=To dari

She/she has=Ou darad / Oun dare(informal)

We have=Ma darim

You(plural) have=Shoma darid/shoma darin(informal)

They have=Anha darand/Ouna daran(informal)


khabidan=Khab>>خواب

khordan=khor>>خور

pokhtan=Paz>>پز

nooshidan=Noosh>>نوش

zadan=Zan>>زن

Kardan=Kon>>کن

Yep!your conjugation is correctBravooooooooooooooooo

The informal form would be :

Man miyam
To miyay
Oun miyad
Ma miyaym
Shoma miyayn
Ouna miyan

As you know the verb "Amadan" means " to come"...but when you add another word to it like "khosh" the meaning will change...

"Khosh amadan" means "To like something or someone....
E.x:
I like him/her/it=Azash khosham miyad
I don't like him/her/it=Azash khosham nemiyad

besides, when for example want to say this cloth fits/suits you well or it's good on you you have to say:
In lebas behet miyad...>>>>Again we use the verb "amadan"
In lebas=This cloth>>>این لباس

The infinitive for "to know " is "Danestan>>دانستن"

Conjugation:
I know= Man midoonam>>>>>>>>>>>Man midoonam(informal)

You know=To midooni>>>>>>>>>>>>>To midooni

He/she knows=Ou midanad>>>>>>>>>Oun midoone

We know=Ma midoonim>>>>>>>>>>>Ma midoonim

You know=Shoma midanid>>>>>>>>>Shoma midoonid/midoonin

They know=Anha midanand>>>>>>>>>Ouna midoonan

***let me tell you something, usually when we're speaking we omit the subject,cause from the suffix we can understand what's the subject***For example:
I know she comes=Midoonam ke miyad>>>>>>>*We don't say:Man midanam ke ou miayad**

Yessssssss, for making negative form just add "ne" before "mi"

I don't want=Nemikhaham>>>>>>>Nemikham(informal)
I don't see=Nemibinam
I don't read=Neminevisam
