Usage notes edit

خود (xod) can occur both in isolation and before a suffixed pronominal clitic such as م (-am, my), ت (-at, et, your), and ش (-aš, eš, his/her). In isolation, it serves as a general reflexive pronoun for any subject:

  • خود را دیدم
    xod-râ didam
    I saw [my]self
  • خود را دیدی
    xod-râ didi
    you saw [your]self

The pronominal clitics specify the pronoun:

  • خودم را دیدم
    xod-am-râ didam
    I saw myself
  • خودت را دیدی
    xod-at-râ didi
    you saw yourself

In colloquial Persian, the suffixed forms are almost always used.

Etymology 2 edit

From Middle Persian xwd (xōd, helm), borrowed from Parthian xwwd (*xōδ, helmet), from Old Iranian, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kadʰ- (to guard, cover, care for, protect). The Parthian word is cognate with Old Persian 𐎧𐎢𐎭𐎠 (xaudā-, hat), Avestan 𐬑𐬀𐬊𐬜𐬀 (xaoδa, helmet), Ossetian худ (xud, hat), English hat, hood, etc. The inherited form of the Persian is خوی (xoy). Akin to Old Armenian խոյր (xoyr), արտախոյր (artaxoyr), Georgian ხვირი (xviri), Arabic خُوذَة (ḵūḏa), Iranian borrowings.
