Questions & Answers about این کوچه دیگر ساکن ندارد، پس شلوغی هم ندارد.
How does digar mean no longer in this sentence?
In Farsi, when you use دیگر (which usually means other or more) with a negative verb like ندارد (does not have), it changes the meaning to not anymore or no longer. So, the combination of دیگر and ندارد translates to doesn't have... anymore.
The English translation says residents, but is saken singular or plural?
The word ساکن (saken) is singular. In Farsi, when stating a general fact about whether a category of things exists or is possessed, it is very common to use a singular noun. Saying it doesn't have resident sounds completely natural in Farsi to mean it has no residents.
How does ham mean either in the second half of the sentence?
The word هم (ham) usually means also or too. However, when it is used with a negative verb like ندارد, the meaning naturally shifts to either. Therefore, هم ندارد translates to doesn't have [it] either.
How does the word shologhi relate to shologh?
You might already know the adjective شلوغ (shologh), meaning crowded or busy. Adding the ی (i) suffix to the end of many adjectives turns them into nouns. So, شلوغی (shologhi) is the noun form, meaning crowd, busyness, or bustle.
