Questions & Answers about من هنوز آدمک پسرک را نچسباندهام.
What does the suffix -ak do in the words âdamak and pesarak?
The suffix -ak is a diminutive, meaning it describes something as small or cute. âdam means person or human, so âdamak means a little person, which here translates to a figurine. pesar means boy, so pesarak means little boy.
How do we know it is 'the little boy's figurine'? Is there a hidden word connecting them?
Yes, they are connected by the ezafe vowel, which is pronounced as '-e' but usually not written. You read it as âdamak-e pesarak. This links the possessed item (âdamak) to its owner (pesarak).
Why does the direct object marker râ come after pesarak instead of the actual object being glued (âdamak)?
The word râ always goes at the very end of the complete noun phrase. Even though the figurine (âdamak) is the core thing being glued, the full direct object is the phrase âdamak-e pesarak (the little boy's figurine). Therefore, râ must wait until the end of that whole group of words.
The verb nachasbânde'am is quite long. How is it built?
It is in the present perfect tense, meaning 'I have not glued.' It is built from the negative prefix na-, followed by the past stem chasbând (glued), the past participle suffix -e, and finally the personal ending for 'I', which is -am.
