Questions & Answers about صندوقچهها از مقوا ساخته میشود.
How is the word صندوقچهها formed?
The base word is صندوق (chest or trunk). We add the diminutive suffix چه (-che) to make صندوقچه (small chest). Finally, the plural marker ها (-hâ) is added to the end to mean "small chests".
Since "small chests" is plural, why is the verb میشود (is) in the singular form?
In Farsi, inanimate plural subjects (things that are not humans or animals) usually take a singular verb. Since boxes aren't alive, we use the singular میشود instead of the plural میشوند.
How does the phrase ساخته میشود work to mean "are made"?
This is a passive voice construction. You form it using the past participle of the main verb—here, ساخته (made) from the verb ساختن (to make)—plus the helper verb شدن (to become). So, it literally translates to "becomes made".
Why does the sentence use از (from) for "made of cardboard"?
When talking about the materials used to make an object, Farsi uses the preposition از (from). You can think of it as saying the boxes are "built from cardboard".
