The word را in Persian is known as the direct object marker or definite object indicator. It is a grammatical particle used to identify the direct object in a sentence.



We learned earlier that راin Persian, ت is used to mark the direct object when it is definite. However, now we can sometimes را remove and replace it with a pronoun that is directly attached to the verb. This happens when the object is a pronoun. Instead of saying من تو را زدم(I hit you), we say زدمت. In this case, را توwe dropped the -t (you) suffix and added زدم. So, the rule is: when the object is a pronoun, there is no need for a pronoun را. You simply attach the object pronoun to the end of the verb. So from now on, whenever you want to use a pronoun as an object, don't use the pronoun را- just add the pronoun to the verb.
Examples:
۱. من تو را دیدم
دیدمت
۲. من او را دیدم
دیدمش
۳. من ما را دیدم
دیدمان
۴. من شما را دیدم
دیدمتان
۵. من آنها را دیدم
دیدمشـان
---
۶. تو من را دیدی
دیدیـم
۷. او تو را دید
دیدت
۸. ما او را دیدیم
دیدیمش
۹. شما ما را دیدید
دیدیدمان
۱۰. آنها شما را دیدند
دیدندتان
۱۱. او آنها را دید
دیدشان
اذا وجدت را في جمله فارسيه ولم يكن هناك فعل متعد يتطلب مفعولا به مع علامته تكون هذه الـ را الاختصاصيه على الارجح والتي نترجمها ل ام لاجل
وهناك دلاله اخرى نشرحها لاحقا ولكن اغلب الاحيان تاتي هذه الاداه علامه للمفعول به في الفصحى والعامه على السواء
