Questions & Answers about آنها میدانند که همین شاهکار بینظیر است.
How does همین (hamin) change the meaning of the sentence compared to just using این (in)?
While این شاهکار (in shâhkâr) simply means 'this masterpiece', adding the prefix همـ (ham-) makes it emphatic. همین (hamin) translates to 'this very', 'this exact', or 'this same'. It emphasizes that they are talking about this specific masterpiece and no other.
What is the literal breakdown of the word بینظیر (bi-nazir) for 'unique'?
It is a compound made of the prefix بیـ (bi-), meaning 'without', and the noun نظیر (nazir), meaning 'peer', 'equal', or 'match'. So literally, it means 'without equal' or 'peerless'.
Since همین شاهکار (hamin shâhkâr) is a highly specific thing, why doesn't it take the specific direct object marker را (râ)?
The phrase همین شاهکار is the subject of the second clause ('this very masterpiece is unique'), not the direct object of a verb. The marker را (râ) is only used for specific nouns receiving an action. The entire clause starting with که (ke) acts as the object of what they know.
What is the infinitive of the verb میدانند (mi-dânand)?
The infinitive is دانستن (dânestan), meaning 'to know' a fact or piece of information. Its present stem is دان (dân), which is why the 'they' form is built as می (mi) + دان (dân) + ند (and).
