Difference between "Tarekidan" and "Tarekandan"?

Question

I'm learning Farsi from EasyPersian and in the lessons he mentions these two verbs, both mean to break, but I don't understand the difference. He says Tarekidan(here), and Tarekandan. [Lesson link for those that are interested](http://www.easypersian.com/drills/persian-writing-useful-drills-21/)

Answer 1

Salaam!

I hope this answer does not come too late, but here it is:

We have quite a bunch of verbs which come in pairs like the examples you gave. The difference is one is transitive (requiring an object) and the other intransitive (not requiring an object). Let me give you some examples:

Tarekidan: to explode

"The lamp exploded." = "cheraagh tarekid."

Tarekaandan: to explode/pop something ("something" is the object)

"I popped the balloon." = "baadkonak raa tarekaandam."

In the case of transitive verbs, when you use a specific object, don't forget to pay attention to the object signifier "raa".

I hope this helped, va movafagh baashi :)

Taa ba'd!
