Questions & Answers about تماشاگرها هرگز قبل از سخنرانی سالن را ترک نمیکنند.
How does ghabl az work with nouns and pronouns?
The phrase ghabl az means "before" and is used to show time or sequence. In this sentence, it connects directly to the noun sokhanrāni (lecture). You can also use it with pronouns in the exact same way, like ghabl az man (before me) or ghabl az ān (before that). The structure remains fixed no matter what noun or pronoun follows it.
The word hargez means "never", but the verb nemikonand is also negative. Does Farsi use double negatives?
Yes, it does! In Farsi, words like hargez (never) always require a negative verb to go with them. While a double negative translates weirdly into English ("they never don't leave"), it is absolutely mandatory in Farsi grammar.
Why do we need the word rā after sālon?
The word rā is the specific direct object marker. Because the sentence is talking about leaving a specific, known hall ("the hall") rather than just any hall in general, you have to tag sālon with rā.
How is the verb tark nemikonand formed?
It comes from the compound verb tark kardan, which means "to leave" or "to abandon". It is made of the noun tark (leaving) and the helper verb kardan (to do). Notice that when you make a compound verb negative, the ne- prefix attaches only to the helper verb, not the noun.
