Questions & Answers about به جای بیتفاوت بودن، یک راهحل مناسب پیدا کن.
How does the prefix in بیتفاوت (bi-tafâvot) change its meaning?
The word بیتفاوت uses the prefix بی (bi-), which means "without". It is attached to تفاوت (tafâvot), meaning "difference". Literally meaning "without difference", it is used in Farsi to mean "indifferent" or "uncaring".
Why is the infinitive بودن (budan) used in the first half of the sentence?
In Farsi, the infinitive form of a verb can act like a noun, similar to adding "-ing" in English. After the phrase به جای (be jâ-ye), meaning "instead of", we use بودن to mean "being". Together, به جای بیتفاوت بودن means "instead of being indifferent".
What are the parts that make up the word راهحل (râh-e hal)?
It is a compound noun made of راه (râh), meaning "way" or "path", and حل (hal), meaning "solving". They are linked by the unseen ezâfe vowel "e". Literally meaning "way of solving", it translates to "solution".
How do we know پیدا کن (peydâ kon) is a command?
It is the imperative (command) form of the compound verb پیدا کردن (peydâ kardan), meaning "to find". For compound verbs with کردن, you make a command for a single person by changing the helper verb into its imperative form کن (kon).
