Questions & Answers about نقرهی براق به کارخانه برده شد.
How do we know "borde shod" is passive, and how is it built?
The simple past passive is made by combining the past participle of the main verb with the simple past of shodan (to become). Here, borde is the past participle of bordan (to take), and shod is the "it" form of shodan in the past tense. Together, they literally mean "became taken" or "was taken".
Why is there an extra ی (y) added to the end of noghre (silver)?
This is the ezāfe that links the noun noghre to its adjective barragh (shiny). Because noghre ends in a silent ه (which makes an "e" sound), we have to add a ی so we can pronounce the link smoothly as noghre-ye.
Why is the verb shod singular if multiple workers probably took the silver to the factory?
In passive sentences, the verb agrees with the thing receiving the action, which becomes our new subject. Since noghre (silver) is a singular, non-human noun, the verb must be the singular shod, regardless of who actually did the carrying.
Does bordan (the root of borde) mean "to take" in every situation?
No, bordan specifically means "to take" in the sense of transporting, carrying, or moving something to another location. If you want to say "to take" in the sense of picking something up, grabbing, or accepting it, you would use a different verb like gereftan.
