§ How to Use 'هل دادن' in Sentences
When you want to say 'to push' in Persian, you use 'هل دادن'. Remember that 'دادن' is the verb part, so it's the part that changes with tense and who is doing the pushing (the subject). The 'هل' part stays the same.
Here’s how it works with common sentence structures:
- Subject + Object + هل دادن
This is the most direct way to use it. The object is what is being pushed.
من میز را هل دادم.
- Translation Hint
- I pushed the table. (من = I, میز = table, را = direct object marker, دادم = I gave)
او در را هل میدهد.
- Translation Hint
- He/She pushes the door. (او = he/she, در = door, را = direct object marker, میدهد = gives)
Notice the 'را' (râ) after the object. This is a direct object marker in Persian. You use it when you have a specific object that you are pushing.
- Using it with people (be careful!)
You can also push people, but be mindful of the context. It can be aggressive or playful depending on the situation.
بچه دوستش را هل داد.
- Translation Hint
- The child pushed his/her friend. (بچه = child, دوستش = his/her friend, را = direct object marker, داد = gave)
- Using it in the negative
To make 'هل دادن' negative, you put 'نَـ' (na-) before the verb part 'دادن'.
لطفا در را هل ندهید.
- Translation Hint
- Please do not push the door. (لطفا = please, در = door, را = direct object marker, ندهید = do not give [formal/plural you])
- Common phrases with 'هل دادن'
You might hear 'هل دادن' in phrases like:
- هل دادن کالسکه: To push a stroller
- هل دادن چرخ دستی: To push a shopping cart
- هل دادن ماشین: To push a car (if it broke down, for example)
او کالسکه بچه را هل میدهد.
- Translation Hint
- She pushes the baby's stroller. (او = she, کالسکه بچه = baby's stroller, را = direct object marker, میدهد = gives)
