Questions & Answers about هیچکس داخل کمد نیست.
Why do we use the negative verb nist (is not) when hich-kas already means nobody?
In Farsi, when you use a negative pronoun like hich-kas (nobody), you must also use a negative verb. So literally, this sentence says nobody is not inside the closet. Unlike in English, this double negative is grammatically required in Farsi to make the sentence negative.
How is the word hich-kas put together?
It is made of two parts: hich (which means no or none) and kas (which means person). Put them together, and you get no person or nobody. You will also see hich used with other words, like hich-chiz (nothing) or hich-jâ (nowhere).
Is there a hidden ezafe (the short 'e' sound linking words) between dâkhel and komod?
Yes! Even though it is not written, you pronounce it as dâkhel-e komod. The word dâkhel (inside) acts as a preposition of location here, and these usually need that -e sound to connect them to the noun that follows.
The word komod sounds very European. Is it a loanword?
Yes, it is a loanword from the French word 'commode'. In Farsi, komod is typically used to mean a closet, a wardrobe, or a chest of drawers.
