زنبور همیشه پشت گله

زنبور همیشه پشت گله 

zanbur hamiše pošt.e gol-e
bee always behind flower-is
“A bee is always behind the flower.”

bee – zanbur – زنبور
always – hamiše – همیشه
behind (preposition) – pošt.e – پشت
flower – gol – گل

Persian has prepositions, which is somewhat odd (according to typology) for SOV languages. Also, the form of budan is reduced to just a suffixed -e.
