Questions & Answers about این مسکن قدیمی به شهرداری فروخته خواهد شد.
How do we build the future passive verb forukhte khâhad shod in this sentence?
It is made of three parts: the past participle of the main verb, which is forukhte (sold), followed by the future tense of the helper verb shodan (to become). The future of shodan is formed with the auxiliary khâhad (will) plus the past stem shod, giving us exactly forukhte khâhad shod (will be sold).
How do I pronounce مسکن here, and does it have any tricky look-alikes?
In this sentence, it is pronounced maskan, which means housing or dwelling. Watch out, because it is spelled exactly the same as mosakken, which means painkiller. Context is your best friend for telling them apart!
Why doesn't the word in (this) take an ezâfe linking sound to connect it to maskan?
Pointing words like in (this) and ân (that) always come before the noun and never take the ezâfe linking sound. However, the descriptive adjective qadimi (old) comes after the noun, so you must use the ezâfe to link them, making the phrase in maskan-e qadimi.
Where does the prepositional phrase be shahrdâri go in the sentence structure?
In Farsi, phrases starting with a preposition like be (to) usually squeeze in right before the verb at the very end of the sentence. That is why be shahrdâri (to the municipality) comes after the subject and just before the long passive verb complex forukhte khâhad shod.
