"کار جدیدی پیدا کردم" ("I found a new job") uses پیدا کردن ("to find", literally "to make found") and the indefinite suffix -i on جدید (جدیدی, "a new [one]") to mark کار as an unspecified, singular "a job", since Persian has no separate word for "a/an".
Where English speakers slip
English speakers often pronounce this too much like the English word "car" with an English r-sound at the end. Use the light Persian tap instead of an English retroflex or American r-coloring.
