Well, actually there's no specific meaning for it in English. It depends on where and when to use it. Sometimes it can be used as a preposition or an object. For example, in English, you simply say "Did you see me?" And the meaning in Farsi is من را دیدی؟ But there's no sign of a translated "را" in the English version. But without it, The Farsi version of it, the meaning wouldn't be complete.
