Questions & Answers about این تور محلی به مکانی دیگر میرود.
How do we say "another place" in this sentence, and why is there an "i" at the end of makan?
"Another place" is formed by مکانی دیگر (makani digar). The ی (-i) at the end of مکان (makan, meaning "place") is the indefinite marker, so makani means "a place". When we add the adjective دیگر (digar, meaning "other"), the phrase literally means "a place, other", which translates smoothly to "another place" in English.
How are the words for "tour" and "local" connected here?
They are connected by the ezafe vowel. تور is tur, and محلی is mahalli (local). To say "local tour", you link the noun and its adjective with a short "e" sound, making it tur-e mahalli. This "e" is usually not written in the Persian alphabet.
Does the ی at the end of محلی (mahalli) also mean "a" or "an"?
No, the ی in محلی is just a permanent part of the adjective itself. It turns the noun محل (mahall, meaning "location" or "area") into the adjective محلی ("local"). The phrase "this local tour" is already specific because it starts with این (in, meaning "this"), so it doesn't take an indefinite "a/an" marker.
Which verb is میرود (mi-rav-ad) from, and why does its stem look so different?
It comes from the verb رفتن (raftan, to go). This is a very common irregular verb, so its present stem changes completely from the past stem "raft" to رو (rav). The می (mi-) at the beginning makes it continuous present tense, and the د (-ad) at the end is the third-person singular ending to match "this local tour".
