Learn Farsi: این ستاره آن‌قدر درخشان است که آن را بدون تلسکوپ می‌بینیم. - This star is so bright that we see it without a telescope.

آن‌قدر means "so much" or "to that degree". In Farsi, the correlative structure is آن‌قدر + [Adjective] + [Verb] + که. Here, it is آن‌قدر + درخشان (bright) + است (is) + که (that).

Wait, doesn't که usually force the next verb into the subjunctive? Why is می‌بینیم (we see) in the indicative?

You are right that که often triggers the subjunctive for wishes, doubts, or necessities. However, in this specific "so... that..." structure, the result clause expresses a concrete fact or actual outcome, not a hypothetical one. Because it is a real fact that we see the star, the indicative mood (می‌بینیم) is required here.

Could I use a pronoun suffix for "it" instead of saying آن را?

Yes, absolutely! Instead of آن را بدون تلسکوپ می‌بینیم, you could attach the third-person singular suffix ـَش to the verb and say بدون تلسکوپ می‌بینیمش. Using آن را is just slightly more formal or emphatic, which is common in written Farsi or when stating facts.

How do I connect the word بدون (without) to تلسکوپ (telescope)? Is there a hidden Ezafe?

Yes, there is a hidden Ezafe. Many prepositions in Farsi, including بدون, require the Ezafe vowel (-e) to link them to the following noun. So you pronounce it as بدونِ تلسکوپ (bedun-e teleskop).
