Questions & Answers about آیا آن گردشگران پولدار در این هتل میمانند؟
How is the word puldâr (rich) formed in this sentence?
It is formed by adding the suffix -dâr (possessing or having) to the noun pul (money). So, puldâr literally means 'money-having' or 'rich'. The suffix -dâr comes from the present stem of the verb dâshtan (to have).
Why doesn't the adjective puldâr have a plural ending to match the plural noun gardeshgarân (tourists)?
In Farsi, adjectives are never pluralized to match the nouns they modify. Even though the tourists are plural (gardeshgarân), the adjective stays in its base form as puldâr.
If the English translation says 'those' tourists, why does the sentence use the singular ân (that) instead of ânhâ (those)?
When a demonstrative like ân (that) or in (this) is used directly before a noun, it always stays in the singular form, even if the noun itself is plural. So 'those tourists' is ân gardeshgarân, not ânhâ gardeshgarân.
Can you break down the parts of the word gardeshgarân (tourists)?
Yes! It starts with gardesh (stroll or excursion), followed by the suffix -gar (which turns a noun or verb root into a doer of that action, like '-er' in English), making gardeshgar (tourist). Finally, the plural suffix -ân is added for people, creating gardeshgarân.
The verb mimânand is simple present tense, but the translation says 'are staying'. How does this work?
While Farsi does have a specific present continuous tense, the regular present tense (formed with the mi- prefix) is frequently used for actions happening right now. Based on the context of asking about the tourists at the hotel, 'are staying' is the most natural English translation.
