The object marker را

Explore a sentence and recognise its specific direct object.

Listen, read and practise. Watch how to write, then finish with the homework. Explore the learning tools in one selected lesson.

Step 1 / 8

Explore and listen

01

من کتاب را می‌خوانم.

I am reading the book.

Listen to each item separately and repeat it. The pronunciation of the existing recordings is still being reviewed.

Step 2 / 8

How it works

Here, را follows the specific direct object. In من کتاب را می‌خوانم, کتاب را marks the object: the book being referred to. را does not have a separate English translation.

Transliteration is only an approximate pronunciation guide.

Step 3 / 8

Read and understand

Notice را after the object خداوند in the first sentence. The grammar activity supplements the religious text in the selected book lesson.

شاعر خداوند را ستایش می‌کند.

Show meaning

The poet praises God.

در این شعر، خداوند مهربان توصیف می‌شود.

Show meaning

In this poem, God is described as merciful.

A line from the poem

خالق و رازق و رؤوف و رحیم

Show meaning and interpretation

Creator, provider, kind and merciful.

In this religious poem, the line lists attributes of God. The repeated و (“and”) connects the terms. It is a list, not a fully expressed declarative sentence.

Step 4 / 8

Put it into practice

Put the parts in order

Arrange the parts to match the example, from right to left. Tap a chosen part to return it.

من کتاب را می‌خوانم.

Listen and choose

Listen to the recording first, then choose the matching character or expression.

Step 5 / 8

How to write it

Now write it yourself

You can also write on paper.

Your homework

The book assignment is to copy and memorise the poem. In this demo, practise the line shown. Also copy the example sentence and write your own sentence using را.
