The را (Ra) Marker: Pointing to Specific Objects
Overview
را (ra) marks definite, specific direct objects. Use ra when the object is specific/known: "Ketab ra khandam" (I read THE book). Don't use ra for indefinite objects: "Ketab khandam" (I read a book/books in general). Ra comes right after the object noun. With pronouns: mara (me), tora (you) — but in modern Persian: man ra → mano (spoken).
