Questions & Answers about ما میتوانیم از طبیعت کشوری دیگر لذت ببریم.
How does the phrase کشوری دیگر (another country) work in this sentence?
To say 'another [noun]', Farsi takes the noun, adds the indefinite -ی ending to mean 'a', and follows it with دیگر (other). So کشور (country) becomes کشوری (a country), and adding دیگر makes it کشوری دیگر (another country). Notice that you don't need an ezafe link between the -ی ending and دیگر.
Is there a hidden ezafe (connecting vowel) in this sentence?
Yes! To connect 'nature' to 'another country', there is an invisible ezafe on طبیعت. When spoken aloud, you will hear طبیعتِ کشوری دیگر (tabi'at-e keshvari digar), which translates to 'the nature of another country'.
Why is the preposition از (from) used before طبیعت (nature) when the English translation just says 'enjoy the nature'?
In Farsi, the compound verb for 'to enjoy' is لذت بردن (literally 'to take pleasure'), and it always pairs with the preposition از (from). So in Farsi, you don't enjoy something directly; you take pleasure from it.
Why does the sentence use ببریم instead of the normal present tense میبریم?
This happens because of the first verb, میتوانیم (we can). When you use a verb like 'can', 'want', or 'must', the second verb in the sentence has to be in the subjunctive form. This means dropping the می prefix and replacing it with the بـ prefix, changing the verb to ببریم.
