Questions & Answers about بعضی از مظلومها شهر را ترک میکنند.
How does mazlum-hâ translate to "the oppressed" if mazlum is an adjective?
In Farsi, you can turn an adjective into a noun representing a group of people simply by adding the regular plural marker -hâ. Just like in English where we say "the oppressed" or "the rich," Farsi uses mazlum-hâ to mean the oppressed people.
What is the difference between saying ba'zi mazlum-hâ and ba'zi az mazlum-hâ?
Adding az makes it mean "some of" a specific group. ba'zi az mazlum-hâ means "some of the oppressed," referring to a known group. If you drop the az and just say ba'zi mazlum-hâ, it means "some oppressed people" in a more general, unspecific sense.
Why does shahr have the direct object marker râ attached to it?
The compound verb tark kardan (to leave or abandon) acts on a direct object. Because the sentence refers to leaving a specific city ("the city"), we must mark shahr with râ.
Can tark kardan be used for leaving things other than places?
Yes, while it commonly means leaving a physical location like a city, tark kardan is also the standard verb for quitting or abandoning a habit, such as quitting smoking or leaving a job.
