In this lesson, we will learn about direct object pronouns in Iranian Persian. Object pronouns are used to replace and avoid repeating the noun in a sentence. They help us to express the direct object of a verb more efficiently and concisely. By using direct object pronouns, we can make our sentences shorter and clearer. Let's dive into the world of direct object pronouns in Persian! | |||
== What are Direct Object Pronouns? == | |||
Direct object pronouns are words that replace the direct object of a verb in a sentence. In Persian, the direct object is the noun or noun phrase that receives the action of the verb directly. For example, in the sentence "I eat an apple," the direct object is "an apple." We can replace "an apple" with a pronoun to make the sentence shorter: "I eat it." In this case, "it" is the direct object pronoun. | |||
== Forms of Direct Object Pronouns == | |||
In Iranian Persian, direct object pronouns have different forms based on the gender and number of the noun they replace. Let's take a look at the different forms of direct object pronouns in Persian: | |||

In this lesson, we will learn about direct object pronouns in Iranian Persian. Object pronouns are used to replace and avoid repeating the noun in a sentence. They help us to express the direct object of a verb more efficiently and concisely. By using direct object pronouns, we can make our sentences shorter and clearer. Let's dive into the world of direct object pronouns in Persian!
What are Direct Object Pronouns?[edit | edit source]
Direct object pronouns are words that replace the direct object of a verb in a sentence. In Persian, the direct object is the noun or noun phrase that receives the action of the verb directly. For example, in the sentence "I eat an apple," the direct object is "an apple." We can replace "an apple" with a pronoun to make the sentence shorter: "I eat it." In this case, "it" is the direct object pronoun.
Forms of Direct Object Pronouns[edit | edit source]
In Iranian Persian, direct object pronouns have different forms based on the gender and number of the noun they replace. Let's take a look at the different forms of direct object pronouns in Persian:
Singular Pronouns[edit | edit source]

---|---|---|
مرا (marā) | /maɾɑː/ | me |
تو (to) | /to/ | you (informal) |

Note: In Persian, direct object pronouns are attached to the end of the verb. We will learn more about their placement in sentences in the next section.
Placement of Direct Object Pronouns[edit | edit source]
In Persian, direct object pronouns are attached to the end of the verb. The pronouns are not separate words like in English, but rather suffixes that indicate the object of the verb. Let's see some examples to understand their placement:
Examples[edit | edit source]
- من کتاب را دوست دارم. (Man ketāb rā dost dāram.) - I love the book.
- من آن را دوست دارم. (Man ān rā dost dāram.) - I love it.
- تو ماشین را میبینی. (To māshin rā mibini.) - You see the car.
- تو آن را میبینی. (To ān rā mibini.) - You see it.
- او میوه را میخورد. (U meve rā mikhord.) - He/She eats the fruit.
- او آن را میخورد. (U ān rā mikhord.) - He/She eats it.
- ما کتابها را میخریم. (Mā ketābhā rā mikharim.) - We buy the books.
- ما آنها را میخریم. (Mā ānhā rā mikharim.) - We buy them.
- شما گل را میبینید. (Shomā gol rā mibinid.) - You see the flower.
- شما آن را میبینید. (Shomā ān rā mibinid.) - You see it.
- آنها کتاب را میخرند. (Ānhā ketāb rā mikharnad.) - They buy the book.
- آنها آن را میخرند. (Ānhā ān rā mikharnad.) - They buy it.
As you can see from the examples above, the direct object pronouns are attached to the end of the verb. The pronouns agree with the gender and number of the noun they replace. For example, if the noun is singular and masculine, we use the pronoun "او" (u) to replace it. If the noun is plural, we use the pronoun "آنها" (ānhā).
Word Order with Direct Object Pronouns[edit | edit source]
In Persian, the word order in a sentence is usually subject-object-verb (SOV). When we use direct object pronouns, they come after the subject but before the verb. Let's see some examples:
- من آن را میبینم. (Man ān rā mibinam.) - I see it.
- تو آن را میبینی. (To ān rā mibini.) - You see it.
- او آن را میبیند. (U ān rā mibinad.) - He/She sees it.
- ما آن را میبینیم. (Mā ān rā mibinim.) - We see it.
- شما آن را میبینید. (Shomā ān rā mibinid.) - You see it.
- آنها آن را میبینند. (Ānhā ān rā mibinand.) - They see it.
As you can see, the direct object pronouns come after the subject and before the verb in all these sentences.

1. I love the cat. 2. She sees the flowers. 3. We buy the books. 4. They eat the cake. 5. You (informal) drink the tea.
