Persian to Danish: a message from me is different from a message sent to me
Keep the personal reference attached to its direction
A Persian message-routing instruction can identify who sends an update, who receives it, and who should be copied into the conversation. Danish translation needs to preserve those directions as well as the people. Recognising a word for me does not establish whether the message travels towards that person or comes from them.
The University of Texas Persian pronoun lesson shows man remaining unchanged in examples corresponding to I, me, and my. It explicitly explains that Persian personal pronouns are not limited to subject use. Their grammatical role must be recovered from the construction rather than an English-style change in the pronoun itself.
Sproget.dk gives Danish jeg and mig in different case groups and explains accusative pronouns after prepositions. Its examples include a gift sent til mig and something coming fra ham. A Danish object form must therefore be read with its preposition; the personal reference alone does not determine the direction of communication.
A team mailing list has several possible paths
Imagine a Persian-speaking project coordinator asking a Danish-speaking colleague to route a schedule update. The coordinator may want replies sent directly to them, while another colleague distributes the original notice. This original office scenario separates the author, the distributor, and the recipient of later responses. They need not all be the same person.
If the source says that an update came from the coordinator, do not turn it into an instruction to send the update to the coordinator. The people mentioned can remain identical while the direction reverses. Check the complete phrase describing the route, particularly when an English helper translation uses a short fragment such as from me.
Likewise, being copied into a conversation does not establish responsibility for answering every message. Preserve any separately stated reply instruction. A translated distribution list should not make one colleague the decision maker merely because their name appears beside the person expected to receive the final schedule.
Forwarded first-person wording needs a speaker
A forwarded note may retain the original author’s first-person request. The me inside that note belongs to the original author unless the forwarding message explicitly changes the reference. Keep the quotation or forwarded-message boundary available when translating so that replies do not accidentally go to the intermediary.
The Persian lesson’s distinction between grammatical function and an unchanged pronoun is useful here: identical source wording can occur in different roles. Danish case selection helps express those roles, but it does not identify which real person the source means. Resolve that from the correspondence, not by assuming that every first-person reference names the latest sender.
Before sending the translated routing instruction, trace one message through its intended path. Identify its author, its distributor, its recipients, and the destination for replies. Verify the prepositions alongside the personal forms. This gives the Danish reader a usable communication route without adding duties or redirecting a response that the Persian source intended for somebody else.
