Questions & Answers about آیا این سم برای پشهها بیش از حد خطرناک است؟
What does bish az had literally mean, and how does it translate to "too"?
Literally, bish means "more", az means "from" or "than", and had means "limit". So bish az had means "more than the limit". In English, we translate this adverb phrase as "too" or "excessively" when it is used to describe an adjective like khatarnak (dangerous).
Where do I put bish az had in a sentence?
Just like the word "too" in English, bish az had goes right before the adjective it describes. Here, it sits directly in front of khatarnak (dangerous) to create the phrase "too dangerous".
Do I always have to start a yes/no question with aya?
No, aya is mostly used in written or formal Farsi to signal that a question is coming. In everyday spoken Farsi, people usually drop it. You can just say in sam baraye pasheh-ha bish az had khatarnak ast? and simply make your voice go up at the end of the sentence.
How is the word for "mosquitoes" formed in this sentence?
The base word is pasheh, which means "mosquito". The -ha attached to the end is the standard Farsi plural marker, turning it into pasheh-ha (mosquitoes).
