How to Use verb Dor in a sentence?

Salom!!!

Take this example, shoma phul dorid? it means, do you have money? How do we say, do you have enough time in Farsi? The word for time in Farsi is vaqt.

If we want to say, enough time, we say vaqt-e-kaphee in Farsi. How about if we want to say it in a full sentence saying that I have no enough time? We can say:

Areh, man vaqt-e-kaphee na dor-am!
Oh, I have not enough time!

How about sugar? How do we say sugar in Farsi? The word is shekar. Try to google translate the word to see how it is written in Farsi script, then put it into our note book for Farsi, ok? To say enough sugar, Farsi sounds like shekar-e-kaphee.

example of the sentence with shekar-e-kaphee?

Shoma shekar-e-kaphee dor-id?
Do you have enough sugar?

I hope I have the time to put these back in my notebook. I hate it when my short term break will finish, ya Allah!!! please help me with the time, don't let it slicing me into parts :'(

Verb Dor or Have

Salom!

Dor is Farsi verb for have. How do we use it with person pronouns? It is like in the example:

Man dor-am
I have

Shoma dor-id
You have

For example we can analyze it in a conversation:

Ali: bebakhshid, phul-e-kaphee?
Yousef: man phul-e-kaphee na dor-am. shoma phul darid?

Bebakhshid means sorry and phul means money. while kaphee means enough. let us analyze the sentence one by one. how do we get the conjugation dorid (you have) and doram (I have)? they are from suffixes -id for shoma, while -am for man.

The word phul-e-kaphee where "e" becomes the conjunction of those two words shows possession of a noun followed by an adjective.
