Questions & Answers about استخری که ماهیهای رنگارنگ در آن شنا میکنند، خیلی عمیق است.
Why do we say dar ân (in it) instead of just translating "in which"?
In English, we say "the pool in which..." but in Farsi, the relative word ke (that/which) cannot have a preposition like dar attached to it. Instead, Farsi structures this as "the pool that colorful fish swim in it." The phrase dar ân (in it) is required inside the clause to refer back to the pool.
Doesn't the -i at the end of estakhri mean "a pool"?
It usually means "a" or "an", but here it has a different job. When attached to a noun right before ke, the -i suffix points forward to the description that follows. It acts as a linker and translates more like "the specific pool that..."
Why is there a -ye sound between mâhi-hâ and rangârang?
This is the ezafe connector, which links a noun to its adjective. Because the plural suffix -hâ on mâhi-hâ ends in a long vowel, the connector changes from an -e sound to a -ye sound to make it easier to pronounce before rangârang (colorful).
Why is the sentence split with a comma right after shenâ mi-konand?
The comma marks the end of the relative clause describing the pool. The first part introduces the subject (The pool that fish swim in), and the part after the comma finishes the main thought (is very deep). Farsi verbs go at the end of their own clauses, which is why the swimming verb (shenâ mi-konand) and the main verb (ast) are separated.
