Iranian Persian and Tajik/Verbs paradigm

We are trying to use metadix for verbs and paradigm and the method in this page will no longer be used then.

As it has been disscussed in Iranian Persian and Tajik/Verbs, Persian/Tajik verbs have 2 roots(one for present and one for past). This article says how to define Persian verbs in the "apertium-tg.fa.fa.dix.xml". It is obvious that this method can be used for Tajik Persian monodix file too.

How to add a verb

As there are many verbs in Persian that their past and present root has a regular rule, two solution is used here:

• verbs with similar roots

These verbs only include verbs that if you add یدن to the present root of them you will have the past root like چشیدن.

• verbs with distinct roots

= verbs with similar roots

Other verbs

In this solution for adding each verb

1. you should add a tag like bellow to main section :

    <e lm="چشیدن"> <par n="/چشیدن__vbser"/></e>

1. you should define past and present form of the verb according the bellow form in <pardefs>

    <pardef n="/چشیدن__vbser">
      <e>
        <p>
          <l>چشید</l>
          <r>چشیدن<s n="vbser"/><s n="past"/></r>
        </p>
        <par n="V__چشید/ن__vbser"/>
      </e>
      <e>
        <p>
          <l>چش</l>
          <r>چشیدن<s n="vbser"/><s n="pres"/></r>
        </p>
        <par n="ٰV__چش/[چشیدن]__vbser"/>
      </e>
    </pardef>

In depth

This is all the code for defining all verbs in a file like Apertium-tg-fa.fa..dix.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<dictionary>
  <alphabet>ابپتثچجحَخِديذةرزژسشصضطظعغقکگلىمنهیئونكفهؤپءٔأآ</alphabet>
<!--  <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="apertium-tg-fa.symbols.xml"/>-->
  <sdefs>
    <sdef n="vblex"/>
    <sdef n="pres"/>
    <sdef n="past"/>
    <sdef n="p1"/>
    <sdef n="p2"/>
    <sdef n="p3"/>
    <sdef n="pl"/>
    <sdef n="sg"/>
  </sdefs>

    <pardef n="V__چشید/ن__vbser">
