Questions & Answers about آیا شما کلید را تحویل گرفتهاید؟
How is the verb تحویل گرفتهاید built in this sentence?
This is the present perfect tense of the compound verb تحویل گرفتن (to receive). To form it, we use the past participle of the main verb, گرفته (gerefte), and attach the short ending for 'you' (plural/formal), which is اید (-id). Together, this makes تحویل گرفتهاید.
What does the word تحویل mean by itself?
تحویل means 'delivery' or 'handing over'. When paired with گرفتن (to take), the compound verb تحویل گرفتن translates to 'to take delivery of' or 'to receive'.
Why is را used after کلید here?
را is the definite direct object marker. Because the sentence asks about 'the key' (a specific key you are expecting) rather than just 'a key' in general, we use را right after کلید to show it is the specific target of the verb.
Is the word آیا strictly required to make this a question?
No, آیا is a formal question word used at the start of yes/no questions. In everyday spoken Farsi, people usually drop it and simply raise their pitch at the end of the sentence to ask the question.
