Questions & Answers about دانشجویان در کلاس از یکدیگر سوال میپرسند.
Why does this sentence use یکدیگر instead of همدیگر for "each other"?
Both mean "each other," but یکدیگر is a bit more formal and is mostly used in written Farsi. In everyday spoken Farsi, you will almost always hear همدیگر instead. Since the sentence uses formal plurals like دانشجویان, it makes sense to use the formal یکدیگر here!
Why is there an از (from) before "each other"? Shouldn't it just be "ask each other"?
In Farsi, you don't ask someone a question; you ask a question from someone! The verb پرسیدن (to ask) requires the preposition از to show who is being asked. So, از یکدیگر سوال میپرسند literally translates to "they ask questions from each other."
Why is the plural of student دانشجویان here instead of دانشجوها?
The suffix ان is a more formal, written way to make words plural for living things, like people. Because this sentence is written in a formal tone, it uses دانشجویان. In casual spoken Farsi, you would normally just say دانشجوها. The extra ی in دانشجویان is a bridge letter added to make it easier to pronounce, since دانشجو ends in a vowel.
Why does سوال (question) go right before the verb میپرسند?
سوال پرسیدن is a compound verb that means "to ask a question." In Farsi, the noun part (سوال) likes to stay right next to the verb part (میپرسند) at the very end of the sentence. The phrase showing who is being asked (از یکدیگر) naturally comes right before that entire compound verb block.
