Questions & Answers about کهکشان ما آنقدر بزرگ است که بینهایت به نظر میرسد.
How does the "ân-ghadr ... ke" structure work in this sentence?
It translates to "so [adjective] that [result]". Here, ân-ghadr means "to that extent" or "so much", modifying bozorg (big). The word ke introduces the result. Notice that the verb in the result clause, mi-rasad, is in the indicative mood (normal present tense) rather than the subjunctive, because it states an actual, real consequence rather than just a wish or possibility.
How is the word "bi-nahâyat" formed?
It is made by combining the prefix bi- (without) and the noun nahâyat (end or limit). Literally meaning "without end", it is the standard way to say "infinite" or "endless" in Farsi.
Why does "be nazar mi-rasad" mean "it seems"?
The word nazar means "view", "sight", or "opinion", and mi-rasad is the present tense of rasidan (to arrive or reach). Therefore, be nazar mi-rasad literally means "it arrives to view" or "it reaches the sight". This is the most common Farsi idiom for "it seems" or "it looks".
Why is the verb "ast" in the middle of the sentence instead of at the very end?
While Farsi verbs typically go at the end of a sentence, this rule actually applies to the end of a clause. This sentence has two clauses joined by ke (that). The first clause ends with its own verb, ast (is). The second clause then follows, ending with its own verb, mi-rasad (seems).
