Questions & Answers about کابوس هنوز تاثیر بدی روی مغز من دارد.
Why does هنوز (hanuz) translate to 'still' here, rather than 'not yet'?
The meaning of هنوز depends on the verb that follows it. Because the verb دارد (dārad - has) is affirmative, هنوز means 'still'. If the verb were negative, like ندارد (nadārad - doesn't have), then هنوز would mean 'not yet'.
Why is the ی (i) attached to بد (bad) instead of تاثیر (ta'sir)?
The suffix ی (i) is the indefinite article meaning 'a' or 'an'. In Persian, when a noun is followed by an adjective, this indefinite suffix attaches to the very end of the adjective phrase. So 'a bad effect' becomes تاثیر بدی (ta'sir-e badi), placing the ی on the adjective rather than the noun.
Why do we use روی (ru-ye) for 'on' in this sentence?
روی literally means 'on the face of' or simply 'on' a surface. In Persian, when you talk about having an impact, influence, or effect on something, روی is the standard preposition to use.
Are there any hidden ezāfe (connecting 'e') sounds I need to pronounce in this sentence?
Yes, there are three! You need the short 'e' sound to connect the noun to its adjective in تاثیرِ بد (ta'sir-e bad). You also need it after the preposition رویِ (ru-ye) to connect it to the noun, and finally to link 'brain' to the possessive pronoun 'my' in مغزِ من (maghz-e man).
