Questions & Answers about در سفارت کار نامناسب نکن و بیادب نباش.
How does the prefix nâ- work in the word nâ-monâseb?
The prefix nâ- means "un-" or "in-". Here, it is added to the adjective monâseb (appropriate or suitable) to make its opposite: nâ-monâseb (inappropriate).
What does the prefix bi- do in the word bi-adab?
The prefix bi- means "without". By adding it to the noun adab (politeness or manners), you get bi-adab, an adjective meaning "impolite" or "rude" (literally "without manners"). Its opposite uses the prefix bâ- (with) to make bâ-adab (polite).
Why is there an invisible "e" sound connecting kâr and nâ-monâseb?
This is the ezafe connecting a noun to its adjective. In kâr-e nâ-monâseb, the noun kâr (work, action, or thing) is linked to the adjective nâ-monâseb (inappropriate) to mean an inappropriate action.
How do the verbs nakon and nabâsh form negative commands here?
To tell someone not to do something, Farsi adds the prefix na- to the present stem of a verb. nakon is the negative command form of kardan (to do), and nabâsh is the negative command form of budan (to be).
