Questions & Answers about با وجود اینکه اقیانوس عمیق است، زیستشناس دریایی یک گونهی جدید کشف کرد.
Why do we use the normal verb ast (is) after bâ vojud-e inke instead of the subjunctive?
The conjunction bâ vojud-e inke means 'despite the fact that' and introduces a real, established fact rather than a doubt or condition. Because it states a fact, it takes the standard indicative mood, like ast, rather than the subjunctive mood you might expect after other conjunctions.
How is the word zist-shenâs formed?
It is built from zist, which means 'life' or 'living', and shenâs, which is the present root of the verb meaning 'to know' or 'to recognize'. In Farsi, you can attach -shenâs to many nouns to create the name of a profession, much like '-ologist' in English.
Why does the word for species (gune) take an extra y (ی) before the adjective?
The word gune ends in a silent letter that sounds like 'e'. In Farsi, when a word ends in an 'e' or 'a' vowel sound, the grammatical link (the Ezafe) between it and the following adjective becomes -ye instead of just -e to make it easier to pronounce. This is why it becomes gune-ye jadid.
Why isn't the direct object marker râ used after yek gune-ye jadid (a new species)?
The word râ is only used to mark definite direct objects, meaning specific things we have already identified, like 'the species'. Because the biologist found 'a' new species, the object is indefinite, so we drop the râ.
