Questions & Answers about این جایگاه تقریباً پر شد و دیگر جایی باقی نیست.
We are learning that taghriban means "approximately" with numbers. Why does it translate to "almost" here?
While taghriban means "approximately" when placed before a number, it is also the standard Farsi word for "almost" when modifying an adjective or a verb. Here, it modifies the verb phrase por shod to mean the area "almost filled up."
Why is there an extra -i at the end of jāyi (place)?
That is the indefinite -i suffix. While jā (or jāy) means "place," adding -i makes it "a place" or "any place." In a negative sentence like this one, jāyi translates smoothly to "any place" or "no place."
How does digar work here? Doesn't it usually mean "other"?
Yes, digar often means "other," but when it is paired with a negative verb like nist (is not), it takes on the meaning of "anymore" or "no longer." So digar... nist means "is not... anymore."
Why use the simple past tense por shod (filled up) if the sentence is describing a situation happening right now?
In Farsi, when a change of state has just happened and is currently true, native speakers often use the simple past tense. Saying por shod (it became full) emphasizes that the event of filling up is complete and the result is in effect right now.
