Questions & Answers about آنها میوهجات و ترشیجات را داخل جعبهها میگذارند.
Why does the sentence use mivehjât instead of the regular plural mivehhâ?
While mivehhâ just means multiple pieces of fruit, adding -jât to make mivehjât changes the meaning to a collective category. It means fruits in general or various types of produce. The -jât suffix is often used in Farsi for categories of food and agricultural products.
How does the suffix work in torshijât (pickles)?
The base word is torshi (pickle). When forming a category plural for Farsi words that end in a vowel (like the i in torshi or the eh in miveh), we use -jât instead of the Arabic suffix -ât. This creates the collective meaning of pickled products in general.
Since ja'beh (box) also ends in an eh sound, why is it pluralized as ja'behhâ instead of ja'behjât?
The suffix -jât is reserved for collective nouns, usually categories of goods, foods, or abstract collections. Since boxes are just regular, individual countable objects, they take the standard plural suffix -hâ rather than a category marker.
Why is the direct object marker râ only placed after torshijât?
When you have a list or multiple items acting together as the direct object, the marker râ only appears once at the very end of the whole phrase. Here, the entire object is mivehjât va torshijât (the fruits and pickles), so râ goes right after the final item.
What is the infinitive for the verb migozârand (they put)?
The infinitive is gozâshtan (to put). Like many Farsi verbs, its present stem changes significantly from the past stem. The present stem is gozâr, which combines with the continuous prefix mi- and the plural ending -and to give us migozârand.
