Questions & Answers about غواصی هم هیجانانگیز و هم به اندازهی کافی ایمن است.
Why does 'enough' come before 'safe' in Farsi, unlike in English?
In English, we say 'safe enough', putting 'enough' after the adjective. In Farsi, the phrase be andâze-ye kâfi (literally 'to a sufficient measure') acts like a normal adverb and goes before the adjective it describes. That is why it comes right before imen (safe).
How do you say 'both... and...' in this sentence?
You use the structure ham ... va ham .... Here, it connects the two adjectives: ham hayajân-angiz (both exciting) va ham ... imen (and ... safe). It is a very common way to link two related descriptions or things!
Why is there an extra 'ye' at the end of andâze in the phrase for 'enough'?
This is the Ezafe linking the noun andâze (measure/size) to the adjective kâfi (sufficient). Because andâze ends in a silent 'he' (ه) which sounds like 'e', the Ezafe adds a 'ye' sound, written here with the letter Ye (ی) to make andâze-ye kâfi.
The word for exciting, hayajân-angiz, looks very long. Can it be broken down?
Yes! It is a compound word. hayajân means 'excitement' or 'emotion'. The second part, angiz, comes from a verb meaning 'to stir up' or 'to provoke'. So, hayajân-angiz literally translates to 'excitement-provoking'.
