Questions & Answers about آن کپسول بزرگ به اندازهی کافی اکسیژن دارد.
Does be andâze-ye kâfi need an ezafe to connect it to oksizhen?
No ezafe is needed here! The phrase be andâze-ye kâfi acts like an adverbial phrase meaning "to a sufficient degree". It simply sits right before the noun it modifies (oksizhen) without needing a linking e sound.
Can I put be andâze-ye kâfi after the word oksizhen instead?
Yes, Farsi word order is flexible here. You could easily say oksizhen be andâze-ye kâfi dârad (literally "oxygen to a sufficient degree it has"). However, placing it right before the noun, as shown in this sentence, is a very natural way to say "enough oxygen".
Why is kapsul translated as "cylinder"? Doesn't it mean capsule?
While kapsul is a loanword that can mean a medical pill, in Farsi it is also the standard everyday word for a pressurized metal tank or cylinder. You will commonly hear it used for oxygen tanks (kapsul-e oksizhen) or cooking gas cylinders.
Why does اندازهی (andâze-ye) have the letter ی (ye) at the end?
The word andâze ends in a silent heh (ه), which gives it an "e" sound at the end. To link it to the adjective kâfi (sufficient) using the ezafe, Farsi adds a ye (ی) to bridge the two vowels smoothly. This makes the pronunciation andâze-ye kâfi.
