Questions & Answers about خریدار پرسید که چرا سیستم گرمایش دیگر کار نمیکند.
Why do we use که right before the question word چرا?
This is how Farsi forms reported questions. While in English it sounds incorrect to say "The buyer asked that why...", Farsi uses که as a bridge to introduce the reported question before adding the Wh- word (چرا).
Why is the final verb کار نمیکند in the present tense when the main verb پرسید is in the past?
In English, we often shift the tense backward in reported speech (e.g., "He asked why it didn't work"). In Farsi, you keep the exact tense the original speaker used. The buyer originally asked "Why does it not work?" (Present Indicative), so it stays in the present tense even when reported in the past.
How does دیگر (digar) create the meaning "no longer"?
دیگر usually means "other" or "else". However, when you pair it with a negative verb—like کار نمیکند (does not work)—the combination translates to "no longer" or "not anymore".
What are the parts of the word گرمایش (garmāyesh)?
It is built from the adjective گرم (garm), meaning "warm". The suffix ـایش (-āyesh) is attached to verb stems to create a noun describing a process or action, forming گرمایش (heating).
