Questions & Answers about عمویمان داخل این بیمارستان دکتر است.
Why is there an extra ی (y) in the middle of عمویمان (amuyemân)?
The base word for uncle is عمو (amu), which ends in a vowel. The suffix for our is مان (-emân). To make it easier to pronounce, Farsi adds a bridge sound, ی (y), between them. So instead of amu-emân, it becomes عمویمان (amu-yemân).
The translation specifically says paternal uncle. Does عمو (amu) only mean the father's brother?
Yes! In Farsi, family tree vocabulary is very specific. Uncles on your father's side and mother's side have completely different names. عمو (amu) is your father's brother, while your mother's brother is called دایی (dâ'i).
How does داخل (dâxel, inside) connect to the phrase this hospital?
You need to use the hidden connecting sound called the ezafe (pronounced -e). Even though it is not written, you pronounce it as dâxel-e in bimârestân to link the preposition inside with the rest of the location phrase.
Why does دکتر (doktor) come right before the verb است (ast) instead of earlier?
Farsi sentences typically put the main verb at the very end. Location phrases, like inside this hospital, come earlier in the sentence. Therefore, the person's profession stays right next to the verb is, following the standard Subject-Location-Complement-Verb order.
