Questions & Answers about دلفینی که نهنگ با آن بازی میکند، خیلی سریع شنا میکند.
Why do we say bâ ân ("with it") in the middle of the sentence?
In English, you can end a relative clause with a preposition (like "the dolphin the whale plays with"). Farsi doesn't allow dangling prepositions. Instead, you must keep the preposition and include a pronoun like ân (it/that) or u (him/her) right after it. So, Farsi literally says "the dolphin that the whale plays with it".
Why is there an -i at the end of dolfini?
This is the restrictive -i suffix. In Farsi, when you use a ke (that/which) clause to describe exactly which noun you mean, you usually add this -i to the noun. It links the noun (dolfini) to its specific description.
What is the exact role of nahang right after ke?
nahang (whale) is the subject of the relative clause. Farsi follows its regular word order inside clauses too. Since the whale is the one doing the playing, the subject nahang comes before the prepositional phrase bâ ân and the verb bâzi mi-konad.
How do the two compound verbs in this sentence work together?
There are two separate clauses: bâzi mi-konad (plays) belongs to the relative clause describing the dolphin, while shenâ mi-konad (swims) is the main verb of the entire sentence. Both use the present prefix mi- to show a factual, ongoing action.
