Questions & Answers about گردشگران دیگر از این چاه آب نمینوشند.
How does دیگر make the sentence mean 'no longer'?
The word دیگر normally means 'other' or 'more', but when paired with a negative verb like نمینوشند (they do not drink), the combination translates to 'not anymore' or 'no longer'. In Farsi, you must make the verb negative to use this structure.
Where should I place دیگر in a sentence like this?
As an adverb, دیگر usually goes right after the subject. Here, it sits directly after گردشگران (tourists). It can also go at the very beginning of the sentence, but it does not go at the end like 'anymore' does in English.
Why is the plural of 'tourist' written as گردشگران instead of using the normal ها suffix?
The singular word is گردشگر (tourist). While you could technically use ها to make it گردشگرها, Farsi often uses the special plural suffix ان for people (animate nouns). Both are correct, but گردشگران sounds a bit more natural and slightly more formal.
What are the parts of the verb نمینوشند?
It is the negative present tense of نوشیدن (to drink). It breaks down into three parts: the negative prefix نمی (nemi-), the present stem نوش (noush), and the plural 'they' ending ند (-and) which matches the subject 'tourists'.
Why is there no را after آب (water) if it is the object they are drinking?
We only use the direct object marker را for specific objects, like 'the water' or 'that water'. Since the tourists are just drinking 'water' in a general sense, we leave را out.
