I think we can guarantee the true imperative forms don't have a chance in

and "chap konid" (school teacher??) although they are best in English.

"Submit" to "ferestaadan".
The other way, imperative one, is to translate to "befrest".
Its a shame to say that the first place I found this kind of
translation was the good old k*ssher.com (don't blame me, I'm on
duty). Now I have found a good enough source t
"Submit" to "ferestaadan".

like that. Or call it "chiz" ;-)

I would appreciate seeing some statistics to back that up, like you have
done with the verbs. Do you have any?

The problem of new word coinage is not because of
language components (affixes) although Persian has one
of the most productive word formation systems. The
problem for making new words in our language is lack

I find this discussion very educational. Isn't this problem easier to
handle in Arabic than in Farsi? From my limited knowledge of Arabic,
it seem that, because Arabic's diction and vocabulary are in harmony
with it
So it means "datas". But again AFAIK "data" and
"daade" are both plurals. Don't know about "paadegaan".

Linguistically speaking, any coined word by the
academies will be used after a while IFF it is
accepted by the majority of the native speakers
(mainly avAm). This period can be one day to 50 years.
The 2nd Persian academy (Rezakhan era) coined
"dAneshgAh" for the word "yuniversite" and it was

Hi,
You know that the 'book' in 'bookmark' is refering to the
book/n/, not book/v/. The original word bookmark/v/ is kind of
tricky, as it's not listed in dictionaries, and is a invented to
be used in browsers. BTW, the standard Persian translation for
bookmark/n/ is &

I remember it being spelled sheen, alef, re. This is around
'77, '78 when a new set of books came out.

Hi,
Contrary to your teacher's comment "shAresh" (flux) is
"bA pedar o mAdar" because it comes from the Persian
simple verb "shAridan" means "jAri budan".

It seems to me something like "sabt-e neshaani" for "bookmark" is more
