The WhatsApp Trick

When you see 'Typing...' on WhatsApp, that's exactly when you'd use this tense in Persian: دارد می‌نویسد.
⚠️

No Negatives

Avoid using this tense for 'I am not doing'. Just use the standard negative نمی‌کنم. It sounds much more natural.
💬

Spoken vs. Written

In books, you'll rarely see دارم می‌روم. Authors prefer می‌روم. Save the progressive for your friends and family.

Smart Tips

Use the progressive instead of simple present.

man miravam (I go) → dāram miravam (I am going)

Always use the progressive.

man kār mikonam (I work) → dāram kār mikonam (I am working)

Use progressive for background actions.

bārān bārid (it rained) → dāsht bārān mibārid (it was raining)

Use the short form 'dāam'.

dāram miyāam (I am coming) → dāam miyām (I'm coming)
