Questions & Answers about آنها رازدار نیستند، پس رازهایم را به آنها نمیگویم.
How does the word râzdâr connect to the lesson about making adjectives with suffixes?
The word râzdâr is made of the noun râz (secret) and the suffix -dâr (haver/keeper). This suffix comes from the present stem of dâštan (to have). Adding -dâr to a noun creates an adjective describing someone who possesses or holds that thing. Here, a 'secret-keeper' translates to being discreet.
Why are there so many endings attached to râzhâyam râ?
Farsi stacks suffixes in a very strict order: plural, then possessive, then the object marker. Here we have râz (secret) + -hâ (plural marker) + -yam (possessive 'my', using 'y' as a bridge letter after the vowel 'â'), followed by the separate word râ (specific direct object marker).
Why is the direct object marker râ used after râzhâyam but not after the pronouns ânhâ?
The word râ is only used for specific direct objects (the thing directly being acted upon). Here, the direct object is râzhâyam (my secrets - the thing being told). The first ânhâ (they) is the subject of the first sentence, and the second ânhâ (them) is the indirect object because it follows the preposition be (to).
What is the verb root inside nemiguyam (I do not tell)?
The infinitive is goftan (to say/tell), but since this is a present tense verb, it uses the present stem -gu-. The full structure is ne- (negative prefix) + mi- (habitual prefix) + -gu- (present stem) + -yam (ending for 'I').
