Ch 3 - L5A Verb Forms - Infinitive

5.1 Infinitive

All Farsi verbs end with  ن - (‘-an’). This is called the Infinitive form.

• The infinitive can be used in its full form as a noun, as we do in English when we say for example: This week's Bible reading  خواندَن is taken from…..

• When used as verbs, all verbs must be conjugated from the infinitve form to convey the thought of who or what is performing the action and when the action is performed.

Following are some frequently used verbs and their Farsi equivalent in infinitive form. The present tense of each verb is also included.  As you can see, each Farsi verb has its own unique present-tense base form derived from the Infinitive form of the verb.
