'Belit rā az bāje-ye belit kharidam' means 'I bought the ticket from the ticket counter' — literally 'from the booth-of-ticket', using the ezafe -ye to link bāje (booth) and belit (ticket) into the compound phrase. Belit rā marks the first belit as the definite direct object, while the second belit (inside bāje-ye belit) carries no rā since it's part of a genitive/ezafe phrase, not the object.

Where English speakers slip

Learners often try to fuse bāje and belit into one word or forget the connecting -ye between them; the two nouns must stay separate with the ezafe -ye clearly pronounced, and the repeated 'belit' in the sentence (once as object, once inside the compound) is correct and natural, not a mistake to fix.
