Questions & Answers about آنها هنوز غرامت پزشکی را پرداخت نمیکنند.
Why is the negative part attached to میکنند and not پرداخت?
پرداخت کردن (to pay) is a compound verb. In Farsi, you only conjugate and negate the verb part of the compound. So the negative prefix نـ (ne-) attaches to میکنند (they do), leaving the noun part پرداخت (payment) unchanged.
Why does the direct object marker را come after the adjective پزشکی?
The marker را (rā) applies to the entire direct object phrase, not just the main noun. Because the direct object is the whole phrase غرامت پزشکی (the medical compensation), را has to go at the very end of that phrase.
How is the word پزشکی (pezeshki) formed here?
It is built from the noun پزشک (pezeshk), which means "doctor". By adding the ـی (-i) suffix, it turns into an adjective meaning "medical".
Does هنوز (hanooz) mean "still" or "yet"?
It can mean both! In negative sentences, هنوز is often translated as "yet" (as in, "they haven't paid yet"), but it translates just as well to "still" ("they still do not pay"). The Farsi word is exactly the same either way.
