Non-PRO English to Persian (Farsi) Other Other Vocab Item
Hi,

Can I say for example for "we didn't see them again"
“ما دوباره آنها را نديديم ” or must I say, “ما ديگر آنها را نديديم”?

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

ما دوباره آنها را ندیدیم ، ما دیگر آنها را ندیدیم

in colloquial terms both cases are possible and used.

Reference:

ما دوباره آنها را ندیدیم ، ما دیگر آنها را ندیدیم

You can use both, but there is a slight difference in the meaning.
ما دیگر آنها را ندیدیم
This would mean "We didn't see them any more." It emphasizes that we no longer saw them after a specific time.
ما دوباره آنها را ندیدیم
This would mean "We didn't see them another (or a second) time." It emphasizes that we didn't see them after the last time.
