I am interested to see Turkish and Persian using very similar verb morphology. It's so cool since they are not related at least as modern linguistics is concerned.
English: They were not returning their smallest ones.
Turkish: En küçüklerini geri döndürmüyorlardı.
Persian: kuchiktarinhashunra barnemigardundan.
Turkish breakdown:
en(superlative)
küçük(small) + ler(plural) + i(object marker) + ni(possessive/object link)
geri(back)
dön(turn) + dür(causative) + me(negation) + yor(progressive) + lar(they) + dı(past)
Persian breakdown:
kuchik(small) + tar(comparative) + in(superlative) + hā(plural) + shun(their) + rā(object marker)
bar(back) + ne(negation) + mi(imperfective) + gard(turn) + ūn(causative) + d(past stem) + an(they)
What was really interesting is both use a very similar setup for causative structure:
Turkish causative structure:
dön (turn) + -dür (causative)
Persian causative structure:
gard (turn) + -un (causative)
Is there any other language that constructs similar suffix stacking to this sentence in Persian:
Kuchiktarinhashunra nemigerdavaridan.
In English: They didn't used to collect their smallest ones.
kuch = small
\-ik = dimunitive
\-tar = comparitive
\-in = superlative
\-ha = plural (“ones/things”)
\-shun = their
\-ra = definite object marker
ne- = negation
mi- = continuous / habitual marker
gerd = around / gathered
avar = bring
\-id- = past stem extension used in conjugation
\-an = 3rd person plural ending

One of the greatest harms committed by the cowardly Mullah regime, beyond the mass repression and killing of Iranian people, has been its systematic marginalization of the Persian language in favor of Arabic.
Going back to Iran, I am more than willing to contribute to this cause as the national protection of the Persian language is vital to the Iranian identity. Ever since this theocratic dictatorship has taken power, they have foregone the usage of native Persian words in favor of Arabic words in order to tailor themselves more towards Islam.
Names such as Khatam al-Anbiya, in English Final Seal of the Prophets, have NO meaning Persian and reflect the broader effort by the Mullahs to reshape Islamicize/Arabicize Iran’s cultural identity through language. It should have been called Payanin Neshaneye Peyqambaran.
There needs to be an institution set up similar to the times of Ataturk in Turkiye that conducts a mass overhaul of the foreign (mainly Arabic) word usages of the language and implements revisions from the bottom up (starting with elementary school all the way into university level studies).
For many of you reading, you can help contribute to the protection of the Persian language by using the following native Persian words instead of Arabic below:

I truly believe we are seeing the end of the Islamic Republic in Iran and although many people's patience is wearing thin and want it to come sooner, I do believe the end is near and I have never felt so sure about this in my life.
The massacre of tens of thousands of Iranian people in January was the nail in the coffin for the Mullah theocracy in Iran. Like rabid dogs being cornered before being put to death, the Mullah regime occupying Iran is lashing out and doing its best to inflict damage on the very country which has sheltered and fed them and their families for decades domestically and overseas.
This massacre of 40,000+ Iranians will forever be remembered in Iran's history books and we will look at this time in a much similar fashion to the dark ages of the Mongol occupation.
The Mullahs and their smiley faced representatives can continue to make diplomatic visits in the coming weeks and pretend as if a massacred didn't happen but there is no going back from the absolute carnage they have inflicted on the Iranian people this year.
When Iran is free I will see many of you back in our home country as we help to rebuild our ancestral land.
Payandeh bada Iran! Keshvare shirdelemun hamishe zende bashe!
When we have the revolution and restore our national flag across Iran.
How vital is it that we protect the colors of the flag.
The green on the original flag is a much darker tone than what is shared amongst the Iranians online and in the streets.
Personally I find the darker green color much more soothing on the eyes.
I think we need to come to a real consensus as Iranians typically have a very hard time to standardize something!
Some use this alternative but it is not an accurate representation of our national flag based on the light green color.
