Questions & Answers about خریدار جدید پرسید که پارکینگ در کدام طبقه است.
Why is the present tense است used here instead of the past tense بود to match the verb پرسید?
In English, when reporting speech in the past, we usually shift the tense backwards (asked which floor it was on). In Farsi, you do not shift the tense. You use که and repeat the question exactly as it was originally asked in the present tense.
Is که required when reporting a question like this?
It is grammatically standard to use که after verbs like پرسیدن (to ask) to introduce reported speech, even when a question word like کدام (which) immediately follows it. In casual speech it is sometimes dropped, but keeping it is the best practice at this level.
How does the word order of the reported question compare to a direct question?
It is exactly the same! English changes the word order for reported questions (Where is it? becomes where it is), but Farsi keeps the direct question order. The original question was simply پارکینگ در کدام طبقه است؟
Why is the noun after کدام (which) singular?
In Farsi, question words like کدام (which), چند (how many), and چه (what) are always followed by a singular noun. So it is always کدام طبقه (which floor), never plural.
How is the word خریدار (buyer) formed?
It comes from the verb خریدن (to buy). It uses the past stem خرید plus the suffix ـار, which creates a noun for the person who does the action, very much like adding "-er" in English.
