Questions & Answers about دانشجویی که کتابش پیدا شد، فردا به کتابخانه مراجعه میکند.
How does ke ketâbash (که کتابش) translate to "whose book"?
Farsi doesn't have a single specific word for "whose". Instead, it uses the connecting word ke (that/who) followed by the noun with a possessive ending attached. Here, ke ketâbash literally means "that his/her book". Linked back to the student, it creates the meaning "whose book".
The English translation says "The student", but dâneshjuyi (دانشجویی) has the indefinite -i ending. Why?
When a noun is followed by a relative clause that defines exactly which person or thing we mean, Farsi usually adds this indefinite -i. Even though English says "the student who...", Farsi structures it as "a student that...".
Why use shod (شد) in peydâ shod instead of kard (کرد)?
peydâ kardan is the active verb meaning "to find", but here we need the passive voice because the book didn't find anything; it was found. Replacing kardan with shodan is the standard way to make these compound verbs passive.
Why is the verb morâjee mikonad (مراجعه میکند) in the present tense if the action happens "tomorrow"?
Just like in English (for example, "I am going to the library tomorrow"), Farsi frequently uses the present tense for planned future actions. The time word fardâ (tomorrow) already makes the future timeframe obvious, so the formal future tense isn't strictly necessary.
What is the exact meaning of the verb morâjee kardan (مراجعه کردن) here?
It literally means "to refer to" or "to apply to". In Farsi, it is the standard, slightly formal way to say you are going to an institution, office, or business (like a library, hospital, or bank) to use their services or sort something out.
