How does digar mean "no longer" in this sentence?
When digar is used in a sentence with a negative verb like nemi-ravand (they don't go), the combination translates to "no longer" or "not anymore". Together, they mean "they no longer go".
Could I put digar at the very end of the sentence like we do with "anymore" in English?
No, because the verb almost always comes at the very end of a sentence in Farsi. You can move digar around a bit before the verb—such as right before be in hotel—but it cannot go after the verb. Placing it early, right after the subject, is a very natural choice.
Why does gardeshgaran end in -an instead of the usual plural ending -ha?
The suffix -an is a plural ending specifically for people and living beings. You will often see it in written Farsi or slightly formal speech. You could also use the regular ending and say gardeshgar-ha, but gardeshgaran is very common for the word "tourists".
Is there an Ezafe linking hotel and viran?
Yes! To say "ruined hotel", Farsi uses the Ezafe vowel to link the noun to its adjective. You pronounce it as hotel-e viran. The Ezafe shows that viran (ruined) is describing the hotel, even though this short "e" sound isn't written in the Persian script.
