Question about verbs

Question

While learning farsi, I've noticed that some English verbs can be translated two ways, that go roughly like following 1. [noun][verb ending] 2. [noun] [kardan] For example, crying can be translated as geristan, as well as gerye kardan. I was wondering if there's a meaningful difference between the two (and for other verbs that have two translations similarly), or is it perhaps more just of a thing where one is a more literary/formal/archaic construct than the other. (and if so, which one is that)

Answer 1

Hello my dear friend! I would be very happy to help you to understand this: 

Whenever you see the two ways so there is no meaningful difference between them and as you mention it, it is more literary/formal/archaic construction, for example for word Crying or weeping you would see in ancient and most of old books in farsi the /geristan/ rather than gerye kardan. Obviously the word gerye kardan is pretty new way to express the meaning for crying.

If you have more question please don’t hesitate to ask.
