The xwâ (خوا) of Persian script is maintained in romanization. Among other reasons, the homophone verbs خواستن (to want) and خاستن (to rise) remain distinguishable. Therefore, خواستن must be entered as xwâstan and خاستن as xâstan. Other verbs having xwâ include: xwâbidan (خوابیدن), xwândan (خواندن).

Tense Names

Each language has its own way of naming tenses. For example, the tense of “I have gone” is called “present perfect” in English, “past perfect” (pretérito perfecto) in Spanish and “compound past” (passé composé) in French. There can be conflicts between the names: what they call “past perfect” in Spanish, means a different tense in English (I had gone). Moreover, not all tenses of a language necessarily have an equivalent in another language. For example, English does not have any tense equivalent to Persian tense “رفته بوده” and therefore, it can not be named according to English tense terminology: “perfect past perfect” or “past perfect perfect” make no sense. For these reasons, it is best to introduce the tenses of a foreign language by their original name. This approach is followed both here and in my articles about verb conjugation in Persian. In other resources, you may see names that are similar to what used in your native language but please note that not all tenses are discussed there. When it comes to talking about all Persian tenses, the only possible way is to introduce them with their Persian name.
