Questions & Answers about پسرک کتابچه را روی ماکت چسباند.
How does the suffix -ak work in pesarak?
The suffix -ak is added to nouns to make them diminutive, meaning it shows something is smaller or expresses affection or pity. Here, pesar means boy, so pesarak means little boy.
What does the -che suffix do in ketâbche?
Similar to -ak, the -che suffix is another way to make a word diminutive. Adding it to ketâb (book) creates ketâbche, which means a smaller book, like a booklet or a pocket notebook.
Why is the word râ placed right after ketâbche?
The word râ marks the specific direct object of a sentence. Because the little boy is gluing a specific booklet (the booklet, rather than just any booklet), we must put râ right after it to show it receives the action.
Is there a hidden sound between ruy and mâket?
Yes! Prepositions of place like ruy (on) need the ezâfe connecting vowel when linked to the noun that follows. You pronounce it as ruy-e mâket, even though the -e sound is not written in the Persian script.
How is the verb chasbând formed?
It is the simple past tense of chasbândan (to glue or stick). By dropping the -an from the infinitive, you get the past stem chasbând. Because the subject is third-person singular (he/the little boy), we use this bare stem with no extra ending.
