Questions & Answers about استاد در کلاس فلسفه در مورد اخلاق صحبت کرد.
Why are there two instances of the word در (dar) in this sentence?
The first در means "in" (در کلاس, in the class). The second در is part of the fixed prepositional phrase در مورد (dar mored-e), which means "about" or "regarding".
How do we connect کلاس (class) and فلسفه (philosophy)? Is there a hidden sound?
Yes, you need to use the Ezafe, an unstressed "e" sound, to link them. کلاس فلسفه is pronounced kelas-e falsafe. This links the noun class to its descriptor philosophy, working much like saying "class of philosophy" in English.
Since we are learning about abstract nouns, is اخلاق (ethics) formed with the -i suffix?
اخلاق (akhlaq) is an abstract concept meaning "ethics" or "morals", but it doesn't use the -i suffix because it is an Arabic loanword that already functions as a noun. However, you can see a related rule in reverse here: if you add the -i suffix to it, it becomes the adjective اخلاقی (akhlaqi), meaning "ethical"!
What is the verb here and what are its parts?
The verb is صحبت کرد (sohbat kard), which means "talked" or "spoke". It is a compound verb made of the noun صحبت (sohbat), meaning "talk" or "conversation", and the past tense of the light verb کردن (kardan), meaning "to do". So literally, the professor "did a conversation".
