Questions & Answers about رامکننده خودش خرس وحشی را رام میکند.
We are learning about the causative suffix -ândan to mean 'making someone do something'. Why doesn't 'tames' (râm mi-konad) use this suffix?
The suffix -ândan is attached to the present stems of simple verbs. However, râm kardan (to tame) is a compound verb made of an adjective (râm, meaning tame) and a light verb (kardan, to do/make). You don't add -ândan to compound verbs; instead, the 'making' aspect is already handled by the verb kardan, which inherently means 'to make tame'.
How is the word for 'tamer' (râm-konandeh) formed?
It is built from the compound verb râm kardan (to tame). To make a 'doer' noun (an agent), you take the present stem of the verb, which is kon, and add the suffix -andeh. So, râm-konandeh literally means 'tame-doer' or 'one who tames'.
What is the role of khodash in this sentence? Can I just leave it out?
Khodash combines khod (self) with the 3rd-person singular ending -ash (his/her). Here, it is used for emphasis to mean 'the tamer himself' (as opposed to an assistant doing it). You could remove it and the sentence would still grammatically mean 'The tamer tames the wild bear,' but you would lose that emphasis.
Why is the object marker râ placed after vahshi instead of right after khers (bear)?
