Questions & Answers about رباتها یک پایگاه در آنجا خواهند ساخت.
How is the future tense formed in خواهند ساخت?
It uses the current lesson's pattern: the present stem of خواستن (to want) conjugated for the third-person plural, which is خواهند, followed by the short infinitive of the main verb. The short infinitive is just the past stem, so ساختن (to build) becomes ساخت.
Since رباتها (robots) are inanimate objects, shouldn't the verb be in the singular form?
Usually, inanimate plural subjects take a singular verb in Farsi. However, because robots are doing an active, human-like action (building), they are often treated as animate agents. That is why the plural verb خواهند ساخت is used here instead of the singular خواهد ساخت.
Is there a trick to remembering the word پایگاه (base)?
Yes! It is a combination of پای (related to foot, leg, or foundation) and the suffix گاه (place). Put together, it literally means a place of foundation, which perfectly describes a military or scientific base.
Why does the Farsi sentence use در آنجا when the English translation just says 'there'?
In Farsi, when you specify the location where an action happens, you often need the preposition در (in or at) before location words like آنجا (there) or اینجا (here). So the Farsi sentence literally translates to building a base 'in there'.
