5.6 Grammar: Like and Dislike, Needs and Wants
دوست داشتن , نیاز داشتن , خواستن
In Persian language we use the verb داشتن as part of conjunct verb to express different feeling by adding noun دوست to the verb داشتن .
When you like someone or something, you are not doing anything actively, You are merely experiencing something that is pleasing to you. Hence, the verb ” to like” need a subject.
Look at these examples:
دوست داشتن = to like
I like salad = من سالاد دوست دارم
دوست نداشتن = dislike
I don’t like salad = من سالاد دوست ندارم
Exercise 1:
Answer the following questions based on your like and dislike:
| Answer: | Question: |
|---|---|
| ایا تو قهوه دوست داری؟ | |
|
آیا تو غذای ایرانی دوست داری؟ |
|
| آیا تو “دوغ” دوست داری؟ | |
| آیا مادر تو غدای ایرانی دوست دارد؟ | |
| تو چه غذایی دوست داری؟ | |
| آیا تو دوچرخه سواری دوست داری؟ | |
| تو چه ورزشی دوست داری ؟ | |
| آیا پدر تو ورزش فوتبال را دوست دارد؟ |
Needs “لازم داشتن” , wants “خواستن “
As in English, “need” is a modal verb that is different from “to want”. Likewise, نیاز داشتن “need” acts like a modal verb (it does not change its form based on the subject/object) and different from خواستن “to want”.
“need” نیاز داشتن requires a subject with preposition به .
Example: دوستم به پول نیاز دارد=my friend needs some money
Example: من یک کتاب می خواهم = I want a book.
