Questions & Answers about مدیر تازه محتویات بستهها را بررسی کرده است.
I learned that tâze means 'fresh'. Why does it translate to 'just' here?
When tâze is used as an adverb of time before a verb, especially with the present perfect tense like barresi karde ast (has checked), it means 'just' or 'recently'. It emphasizes that the action happened in the immediate past.
Could I place tâze at the very beginning of the sentence?
Yes, adverbs of time are flexible in Farsi. You could say tâze modir... to mean 'Just recently, the manager...'. However, placing it right after the subject is a very natural and common word order.
The word mohtaviyât (contents) looks like a plural form. What is the singular?
Exactly! The singular form is mohtavâ (content). The -ât ending is an Arabic plural suffix that Farsi uses for certain formal or administrative words.
Why does the direct object marker râ come after baste-hâ (packages) instead of right after mohtaviyât (contents)?
Because the direct object is the entire noun phrase mohtaviyât-e baste-hâ (the contents of the packages). The marker râ must always sit at the very end of the complete object phrase, never in the middle.
Is there a hidden ezâfe (linking sound) between 'contents' and 'packages'?
