Questions & Answers about زمانی که از یکدیگر جدا شدیم، بیش از حد دلتنگ پاتوق شدیم.
The lesson focuses on zamâni ke. How is it different from just saying vaghti ke for 'when'?
Both translate to 'when', but zamâni ke literally means 'the time that' or 'the time when'. It creates a relative clause of time focusing heavily on that specific moment (the antecedent). It is also slightly more formal or emphatic than the everyday vaghti ke.
What is the difference between yekdigar and the more common hamdigar for 'each other'?
They mean exactly the same thing, but yekdigar is slightly more formal and literary. In everyday spoken Farsi, you will almost always hear hamdigar (often shortened to just ham), whereas yekdigar appears more in written texts or careful speech.
Why is the preposition az (from) used before yekdigar?
The compound verb jodâ shodan means 'to separate' or 'to part'. Just like in English where you part 'from' someone, in Farsi you separate 'from' each other, so the verb requires the preposition az.
What does bish az had literally translate to?
It literally means 'more than the limit'. Bish means 'more', az means 'than' (or 'from'), and had means 'limit' or 'boundary'. Together, it forms a very common phrase meaning 'too much' or 'excessively'.
