More about Mikham

Mikham means I want, and it is three pieces: mi- (does it now or usually), kha (want) and -m (I). The ending already says I, so you do not need to add a word for it. Persian puts the thing first: Ab mikham is I want water. The same mi- appears on Mikonam, and the friendly and polite forms are Mikhay and Mikhayn. Add ne- in front and you get Nemikham, I don't want. It is taught in Module 8, lesson 1, in the lesson called The hottest day, which is why its first lines are about being thirsty.
