Questions & Answers about ما خیلی کم آنلاین هستیم چون اینترنت نداریم.
How do خیلی (kheyli) and کم (kam) work together in this sentence?
خیلی (kheyli) means very and کم (kam) means little or rarely. Together, خیلی کم (kheyli kam) means very little. Just like in English, the adverb of degree for very comes right before the word it describes.
Why is خیلی کم (kheyli kam) placed right before آنلاین (ānlāyn)?
Adverbs of frequency and degree generally go before the adjective or verb they modify. Here, خیلی کم describes how often we are online, so it sits right before the phrase آنلاین هستیم (ānlāyn hastim - we are online).
Is چون (chon) the standard word for because?
Yes, چون (chon) is a very common, everyday word meaning because or since. It connects the two halves of this sentence to give the reason why we are rarely online.
How does the verb نداریم (nadārim) become negative?
The positive verb for we have is داریم (dārim). As a quick review, to make the verb to have negative, you simply add the negative prefix نـ (na-) to the beginning, making it نداریم (nadārim - we do not have).
Are آنلاین (ānlāyn) and اینترنت (internet) exactly the same as in English?
