Questions & Answers about چون وقت جلسه نامعلوم است، نماینده بی‌حوصله است.

How does the prefix nâ- work in the word nâma'lum?

The prefix nâ- acts like the English prefixes "un-" or "in-", turning a word into its negative. Here, it attaches to ma'lum (known or clear) to create nâma'lum (unknown or unclear).

What is the literal meaning of bi-howsele?

The noun howsele means patience or mood. By adding the privative prefix bi- (meaning without), we get bi-howsele, which literally translates to "without patience." We use it to describe someone who is impatient, bored, or not in the mood.

Based on this lesson's topic, what is the exact opposite of bi-howsele?

To make the opposite, you swap the "without" prefix (bi-) for the associative "with" prefix (bâ-). This creates bâ-howsele, which describes someone who is patient, willing to wait, or in a good mood.

How do we link the words for time and meeting in this sentence?

They are linked by an ezâfe (an unwritten "-e" sound), pronounced as vaght-e jalase. This grammatical connector acts like the English word "of", creating the phrase "time of the meeting".

Can chon be used at the very beginning of a sentence like this?

Yes! The word chon (because or since) is very commonly placed at the start of a sentence to introduce a reason or cause, just as we say "Because the time is unclear..." in English.
