How do you pronounce "رسیدن" in Farsi?
Say 'reh-SEE-dahn' — stress punches on the middle 'si' syllable, just like fahmidan and porsidan.
residan
Like other -idan verbs, stress falls on the syllable right before '-dan' — here 'si' — giving re-SI-dan, not RE-si-dan.

'قطار به موقع رسید' (Ghatār be moghe' resid, 'The train arrived on time') uses به موقع ('on time') as a fixed prepositional expression; moghe' ends in the glottal-stop letter ع, which Iranian speakers do briefly articulate here as a catch in the throat, unlike an ع at the very start of a word.
Where English speakers slip
Because residan looks similar to porsidan and fahmidan, learners sometimes misplace the stress by analogy with English words that stress the first syllable — but all three genuinely stress that middle syllable (re-SI-dan, por-SI-dan, fah-MI-dan), so trust the Persian pattern rather than English instincts.
