Questions & Answers about بچهها بادکنکها را به سوی آسمان رها کردند.
Could I use the other words for "towards" from this lesson in this sentence?
Yes! The compound prepositions be samt-e and be taraf-e also mean "towards" and can be used interchangeably here. You could say be samt-e aseman or be taraf-e aseman with exactly the same meaning.
Why is there a -ye at the end of su in the phrase be su-ye aseman?
The word su means "direction". To connect it to aseman (sky), we need the connecting ezafe vowel. Because su ends in a vowel sound, we add a "y" sound to make it easier to pronounce, creating su-ye.
Why is ra placed right after badkonak-ha?
The word ra is a marker that shows the specific direct object of a sentence. Because the children are releasing specific balloons ("the balloons" rather than just "balloons" in general), we must place ra immediately after the noun badkonak-ha.
What is the full form of the verb at the end of the sentence?
The verb is raha kardan, a compound verb that means "to release" or literally "to make free". Here it is conjugated in the simple past tense for "they" (kardand) to match the plural subject bache-ha (the children).
