Learn Farsi: خرس به اندازه‌ی ببر گوشت نمی‌خورد. - The bear does not eat as much meat as the tiger.

The phrase be andâze-ye literally means "to the measure of" or "to the size of". Here, it acts as an equative comparison. Notice the -ye at the end: this is the ezafe vowel that links the comparison phrase directly to the noun it is comparing against, which is babr (tiger).

Why is the object gusht (meat) placed where it is, rather than right after the subject?

Farsi sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb order. When you add a comparison phrase like be andâze-ye babr, it typically goes between the subject (khers) and the object (gusht). So the structure here is: Subject + Comparison + Object + Verb.

Why doesn't gusht (meat) have the direct object marker râ after it?

We only use the marker râ when the direct object is specific, like "the meat" or "that meat". Because this sentence is talking about eating meat in a general, unspecific sense, we leave râ out.

How do the prefixes work in the verb nemi-khorad?

This is the negative present tense, used here to state a general fact or habit. It is built using the negative prefix ne-, which merges with the usual present tense prefix mi-, followed by the verb stem khor (eat), and the "he/she/it" ending -ad.
