Questions & Answers about گوینده از شنوندهها سوال پرسید.
How is the word گوینده (speaker) formed?
It is an agent noun made from the verb گفتن (to speak/say). You take the present stem, which is گو, and add the suffix -انده. Because گو ends in a vowel, a ی is added as a bridge, giving us گوینده (someone who speaks).
Does شنوندهها (listeners) follow the exact same rule?
Yes! It comes from the verb شنیدن (to hear/listen). The present stem is شنو. When you attach the -انده suffix, it becomes شنونده (listener). The -ها at the end simply makes it plural.
Why does the sentence use از before the listeners?
In Farsi, when you ask someone something, you literally ask it from them. The verb پرسیدن (to ask) pairs with the preposition از (from). So, instead of saying you 'asked the listeners', you say you 'asked from the listeners' (از شنوندهها).
Why is it سوال پرسید instead of just پرسید?
While پرسید alone means 'asked', Farsi speakers often use the combination سوال پرسیدن (literally: to ask a question) to sound more complete and natural. It works just like the English phrase 'asked a question'.
