Questions & Answers about مزرعه دیگر آباد نیست و کاملاً متروکه است.
How does digar work in this sentence to mean "no longer"?
When you pair digar (which often translates to "other" or "else") with a negative verb, the combination means "no longer" or "not anymore". In this sentence, digar is paired with the negative verb nist (is not) to express that the farm is no longer thriving.
What does ābād specifically mean when translated as "thriving"?
ābād is a descriptive word specifically used for places, land, and cities. It means a place is cultivated, developed, inhabited, and generally doing well. Because it only applies to places, you cannot use it to describe a person as thriving. You will also spot this word at the end of many city names!
Why does the word kāmelan (کاملاً) end with that little double-line symbol?
That symbol is a pronunciation marker borrowed from Arabic that makes an "-an" sound. In Farsi, it is added to the end of certain adjectives to turn them into adverbs. In this sentence, it changes kāmel (complete) into kāmelan (completely).
Is the word matruke (abandoned) related to any Farsi verbs we already know?
Yes! It comes from the exact same root as the compound verb tark kardan (to leave or to abandon). matruke describes a place or thing that has received that action, meaning it has been left behind.
