Questions & Answers about کارگران از صبح تا شب در خط تولید سرپا هستند.
How do we use az ... tâ ... in this sentence, and is it only for time?
In this sentence, az sobh tâ shab means "from morning until night", showing a boundary in time. You can use the exact same az ... tâ ... structure for physical spaces too, like az Tehrân tâ Shirâz (from Tehran to Shiraz).
What is the literal meaning of sar-pâ, and how does it translate to "on their feet"?
The word sar-pâ literally combines sar (head) and pâ (foot or leg). As a compound adjective, it means "standing" or "on one's feet". When combined with hastand (they are), it forms the phrase "they are standing" or "they are on their feet".
I usually see -hâ for plurals. Why does "workers" use -ân in kârgar-ân?
While -hâ is the standard plural marker for almost everything in spoken Farsi, -ân is a slightly more formal plural suffix used specifically for people and animate beings. Since kârgar means "worker", kârgar-ân is widely used in news, writing, or polite speech. You could still say kârgar-hâ in everyday conversation.
How does xat-e towlid translate to "production line"?
It uses the ezafe vowel (the hidden "e" connecting the words) to link xat (line) with towlid (production). In Farsi, the main noun comes first, so it literally translates to "line of production".
