Questions & Answers about عکس تار بود، بنابراین ویرایشش کردم.
Where is the word for 'it' in ویرایشش کردم?
The 'it' is the suffix -esh (or -ash in formal Farsi) added to the end of ویرایش (virâyesh). Instead of using a separate pronoun with the object marker like آن را (ân râ) to say 'edited it', Farsi commonly attaches these short pronoun suffixes directly to the verb structure to act as the direct object.
Why does the -esh suffix attach to ویرایش instead of the actual verb کردم?
ویرایش کردن (virâyesh kardan - to edit) is a compound verb, meaning it is made of a noun plus a 'light verb' like کردن (kardan - to do). When you add a direct object suffix to a compound verb, you attach it to the non-verbal part (the first word). Therefore, it correctly becomes ویرایشش کردم (virâyesh-esh kardam) and never ویرایش کردمش.
How do I pronounce ویرایشش with those two 'sh' letters right next to each other?
It is pronounced virâyesh-esh. The first 'sh' sound is the end of the noun ویرایش (edit), and the second 'sh' is the attached pronoun -esh (it). The short 'e' vowel smoothly connects the two, allowing you to pronounce both 'sh' sounds distinctly without stuttering.
Is بنابراین a single word, and what does it literally mean?
It functions as the single word 'therefore,' but it is actually built from three separate parts: بنا (banâ, meaning 'foundation' or 'basis'), بر (bar, meaning 'on'), and (in, meaning 'this'). Literally, it means 'based on this,' which makes it a very logical way to introduce the result of a situation.
