The basic subject-verb-object sequence of an English sentence would have to transform into a subject-object-verb structure to form a sentence in Dari not only in present, but also in all other tenses i.e. past, future, etc.
Example:
I eat Bread = Subject+Verb+Object
من نان میخورم = Subject+Object+Verb = I bread eat. = Man naan mekhoram
Let’s look at a few other examples of a present tense sentence structure.
من کار میکنم.
Man kaar mekonam. = I work do. = I work (I do work.)
من خانه میایم.
Man khaana merawam. = I home go. I go home.
من کتاب میخوانم.
Man ketaab mekhaanam. = I book read. I read a book.
من آنجا میروم.
Man aanjaa merawam. = I there go. I go there.
من نامه مینویسم.
Man naama menawisam. = I letter write. I write a letter.
من فیلم میبینم.
Man film mibinam. = I a movie see. I see a movie.
من موتر میرانم.
Man motar meraanam. = I a car drive. I drive a car.
The subject pronoun determined how the verb is conjugated. In the above example, verb conjugation corresponds to first person subject pronoun: I.
In this case, to conjugate a verb, a prefix and a suffix is added to the imperative form of the verb. For example:
کن = do, آی = come, خوان = read, رو = go, نویس = write, بین = see, ران = drive
To conjugate a verb in present tense, add the prefix می to the imperative form of the verb, and add a suffix to it that would corelate to the subject pronoun:
من I میروم (am going), میکنم (am doing), میگویم (am saying), میخورم (am eating), میخواهم (want/wanting)
تو You میروی are (going) میکنی (doing) میگویی (saying) میخوری (eating) میخواهی (want/wanting)
شما You (plural) میروید are (going) میکنید (doing) میگویید (saying) میخورید (eating) میخواهید (want/wanting)
او He/She میرود are (going) میکند (doing) میگوید (saying) میخورد (eating) میخواهد (want/wanting)
ما We میرویم are (going) میکنیم (doing) میگویی (saying) میخوریم (eating) میخواهیم (want/wanting)
آنها They میروند are (going) میکنند (doing) میگویند (saying) میخورند (eating) میخواهند (want/wanting)
