Questions & Answers about دامپزشک گربه را قبل از سرپرستی معاینه میکند.
What is the literal translation of دامپزشک (veterinarian)?
It is a compound noun combining دام (livestock or domestic animals) and پزشک (doctor).
Does سرپرستی literally mean "adoption"?
It translates more directly to "guardianship" or "custody". However, in Farsi, taking an animal or child به سرپرستی (into guardianship) is the standard and most natural way to express the English concept of "adoption".
What type of "examination" is معاینه? Can I use it for a school exam?
No, the compound verb معاینه کردن is specifically used for medical or physical check-ups by a professional like a doctor or vet. For an academic test or exam, you would use امتحان instead.
Just to review, why is را necessary after گربه in this sentence?
The word را marks a specific, definite direct object. It shows that the vet is examining a specific cat ("the cat"), rather than just examining cats in general.
