How do we know that hanuz means 'still' in this sentence and not 'not yet'?
The meaning of hanuz depends on the verb that goes with it. Because the verb hastam (I am) is affirmative, hanuz translates to 'still'. If the verb were negative, like nistam (I am not), then hanuz would mean 'not yet'.
Why is the verb benevisam used here instead of the regular present tense minevisam?
The word bāyad (must) requires the main verb to be in the subjunctive form. To create this, Farsi drops the regular present continuous mi- prefix and replaces it with be-, turning minevisam into benevisam.
Why do maqāle and darbāre both have a -ye sound attached to their ends?
This is the ezāfe, a grammatical linker used to connect nouns to adjectives or to other nouns. Because both maqāle (article) and darbāre (about) end in a silent 'h', Farsi adds a -ye sound to make the spoken connection smooth, written as māqale-ye and darbāre-ye.
How is the word 'elmi (scientific) formed?
The base noun is 'elm (science). By adding the suffix -i to the end, it becomes the adjective 'elmi (scientific), which is then linked to the noun it describes using the ezāfe.
