Questions & Answers about فضانورد این موشک را به خورشید خواهد فرستاد.
How is the future tense "will send" built in this sentence?
It is made using the auxiliary verb khâstan (to want/will). For the astronaut (he/she), we use the 3rd person singular form khâhad. This is followed by the short infinitive of the main verb ferestâdan (to send), which is just its past stem, ferestâd. Together, khâhad ferestâd means "will send".
Is the auxiliary verb khâhad always placed right before the main verb?
Yes! In the formal future tense, the conjugated form of khâstan (like khâhad) always comes immediately before the short infinitive of the main verb (like ferestâd). They stick together as a single block at the very end of the sentence.
Why is the word râ right after in mushak?
The word râ marks the specific direct object of the sentence. Because the astronaut is sending a specific rocket (in mushak, meaning "this rocket"), Farsi grammar requires râ right after it to show exactly what is receiving the action of being sent.
How does the word fazâ-navard translate to astronaut?
It is a compound word. fazâ means "space", and navard means "traveler" or "wanderer". Put them together, and you get "space-traveler", which is the standard Farsi word for astronaut.
