Questions & Answers about همهی مردم در پارک جمع میشوند.
Why is there a -ye attached to hame in hame-ye?
When hame (all) is used before a noun, it connects to that noun using the ezāfe linking vowel. Because hame ends in a vowel sound, the ezāfe becomes -ye, creating hame-ye mardom (all of the people).
The current lesson is about using hame with plural nouns. Why doesn't mardom have a plural ending?
The word mardom (people) is a collective noun that is already inherently plural in meaning. You don't need to add plural suffixes like -ha to it when pairing it with hame.
Why does the verb jam' mishavand have the plural ending -nd (they) if mardom doesn't have a plural suffix?
Even though mardom lacks a plural suffix, it refers to a group of humans. In Farsi, collective nouns for humans almost always take a plural verb to match their plural meaning. That is why the verb uses the 'they' form.
How does the verb jam' mishavand translate to 'gather'?
It is a compound verb made from the word jam' (gathered or collected) and mishavand (they become). Literally meaning 'they become gathered', it is the standard way to say 'they gather' or 'they assemble' in Farsi.
