Questions & Answers about دریای غران ماهیگیرها را ترساند.
How is the word ghorrân (roaring) formed in this sentence?
It uses the grammar from this lesson! It is formed by taking the present stem of ghorridan (to roar), which is ghorr, and adding the suffix -ân. This creates an adjective showing a continuous state, meaning "roaring".
Why is there a "ye" sound linking daryâ and ghorrân?
This is the ezâfe connecting the noun daryâ (sea) to its adjective. Because daryâ ends in a vowel (the long "a" sound), the ezâfe takes the form of a "ye" sound rather than just an "e", making it daryâ-ye ghorrân.
How do the parts of mâhigir-hâ combine to mean "fishermen"?
mâhi means "fish" and gir is the present stem of gereftan (to catch or take). Combined, mâhigir means "fish-catcher" or fisherman. The suffix -hâ makes it plural.
Why does the verb tarsând look different from the usual verb for fear, tarsidan?
tarsidan means "to be afraid", which is an internal feeling. Because the sea is causing the fear in someone else, we use the causative form. Adding -ând to the present stem tars creates tarsândan (to frighten or scare). tarsând is the simple past tense, meaning "it frightened".
