Questions & Answers about فضانورد یک ربات به سفینه خواهد فرستاد.
How is the future tense "will send" formed in this sentence?
The future tense is made of two parts: the conjugated present tense of خواستن (to want/will) plus the short infinitive of the main verb. Here, خواهد (khâhad) is the "he/she/it" form, and فرستاد (ferestâd) is the short infinitive (the past stem) of فرستادن (to send). Together, خواهد فرستاد means "will send".
Why isn't the direct object marker را (râ) used after the robot?
The word را (râ) is only used for specific (definite) direct objects. Because the astronaut is sending "a robot" (یک ربات) rather than "the robot", it is indefinite, so we leave out the را.
Why are the two parts of the verb placed at the very end of the sentence?
In Farsi, the standard word order is Subject-Object-Verb (SOV). The subject فضانورد (astronaut) comes first, the objects and prepositional phrases like یک ربات به سفینه (a robot to the spaceship) go in the middle, and the complete future verb خواهد فرستاد (will send) stays together at the very end.
What are the root words inside فضانورد (astronaut)?
فضانورد (fazâ-navard) is a compound word. It is made of فضا (fazâ) meaning "space", and نورد (navard) which means "traveler" or "explorer". So it literally means "space-traveler".
