Questions & Answers about مسافت از کارخانه تا خانهی من خیلی زیاد است.
How do az and tâ function together in this sentence, and can I use them for time as well as physical distance?
Yes! Here, az (from) and tâ (to/until) set the spatial boundaries between the factory and your house. You can use this exact same az ... tâ ... structure for time, such as saying from morning to night or from Monday to Friday.
Why does the Farsi sentence use ziyâd (much) to mean long here?
When talking about an abstract measurement like masâfat (distance), Farsi treats it as an amount rather than a physical object. So, a distance is described as being a lot (ziyâd) or a little (kam), rather than using words for physical length like boland (tall or long).
Is the word xâne (house) part of the word kârxâne (factory)?
Exactly! kârxâne is a compound word made of kâr (work) and xâne (house). Farsi frequently uses xâne to create words for places where specific activities happen.
Why does xâne take the -ye connector, but kârxâne does not?
The -ye on xâne is the Ezâfe connector linking the noun to its owner, making xâne-ye man (my house). Because the word ends in a silent heh, the connector becomes -ye instead of just -e. kârxâne does not have one because it stands alone in this sentence and is not linked to a possessor or an adjective.
