Questions & Answers about چرا همهی گروهها اینجا جمع میشوند؟
Why is there an ـی (ye) attached to همه (all)?
This is the Ezafe marker linking the quantifier to the noun. When همه (hame) means 'all of the [noun]', it connects to the following word using Ezafe. Because همه ends in a silent 'e' sound, the Ezafe is written with the letter Yeh (ـی) and pronounced '-ye', giving us همهی گروهها (hame-ye goruh-ha).
Are we required to make گروه (group) plural after همه (all)?
Yes! In Farsi, when همه is used to mean 'all of the [countable things]', the noun that follows it must be in its plural form. That is why we use گروهها (goruh-ha, groups) and not just the singular گروه.
How does the verb جمع میشوند (jam' mishavand) translate to 'gather'?
This is a compound verb. Farsi builds many verbs by pairing a noun or adjective with a 'helper' verb. Here, جمع (jam') means 'collection' or 'gathered', and the helper verb شدن (shodan) means 'to become'. Together, جمع شدن means 'to gather' or 'to assemble'.
Why does the verb end in ـند (-nd)?
The verb ending must match the subject of the sentence. The subject here is گروهها (groups), which is a plural noun. Therefore, the present tense helper verb takes the third-person plural suffix ـند (-nd), giving us میشوند (they gather) to match the plural subject.
