Questions & Answers about آنها برای کشتن این حشره بیش از حد سمپاشی میکنند.
Where should I put bish az had in a sentence when it modifies a verb?
You usually place it right before the verb or the noun part of a compound verb. In this sentence, bish az had goes immediately before the compound verb sam-paashi mikonand to show that the action of fumigating is what is being done excessively.
Why is the full infinitive koshtan used after baraaye?
In Farsi, infinitives like koshtan also act as nouns, similar to English words ending in -ing. Using baraaye followed by an infinitive is the standard way to say you are doing something in order to achieve a goal. So, baraaye koshtan translates to 'for the killing of'.
Do I need an Ezafe to connect koshtan to iin hashare?
Yes! Because koshtan is acting as a noun here, you need an Ezafe (the short 'e' sound) to link it to the object being killed. When speaking, you must say koshtan-e iin hashare which means 'the killing of this insect'.
What are the parts that make up the verb sam-paashi mikonand?
It is a compound verb made of three parts. sam means poison, paashi comes from the verb for scattering or spraying, and mikonand means 'they do'. Together, they literally mean 'they do poison-spraying'.
What do the individual words in bish az had mean?
bish means more, az means from or than, and had means limit or boundary. So the phrase literally translates to 'more than the limit', which perfectly explains why it is used to express doing something excessively!
