Questions & Answers about شما هنوز به مرحلهی عمیق خواب نرسیدهاید.
How does hanuz translate to 'not yet' in this sentence?
The word hanuz can mean either 'still' or 'yet'. To express 'not yet', Farsi simply combines hanuz with a negative verb. Since the verb na-resideh-id (have not reached) is negative, hanuz automatically takes the meaning of 'yet' or 'not yet'.
What tense is the verb na-resideh-id?
It is in the present perfect tense, translating to 'you have not reached'. It is built using the negative prefix na-, the past stem resid, the participle ending -eh, and finally the personal ending -id for 'you' (plural or formal).
Why is the preposition be (به) used before 'the deep stage'?
The verb residan (to reach or to arrive) requires the preposition be (to) to show what is being reached. While in English we just say 'reached the stage', in Farsi you must literally say 'reached to the stage'.
Why is there a -ye at the end of marhale (مرحلهی)?
This is the Ezafe connector linking the noun marhale (stage) to its adjective amiq (deep). Because marhale ends in a silent 'heh' (which sounds like a vowel), the Ezafe is written with a 'ye' (ی) to separate the vowels and is pronounced -ye.
