Questions & Answers about تماشاگران این شیرینکاری شگفتانگیز را تشویق میکنند.
How is the word tamâshâgarân (spectators) formed?
It is made of three parts: tamâshâ (watching/spectacle), the suffix -gar (which indicates a "doer" or someone who performs an action), and the plural suffix -ân, which is specifically used for people. Literally, it means "the watchers."
Shirin usually means "sweet". Why does shirin-kâri mean "trick" or "stunt"?
In Farsi, shirin-kâri literally translates to "sweet work" or "sweet deed." It has evolved into a common idiom used to describe a clever trick, an impressive stunt, or an entertaining antic meant to delight an audience.
What does the -angiz suffix in shegeft-angiz (amazing) mean?
The suffix -angiz is actually the present stem of the verb angikhtan, which means "to provoke" or "to stir up." When you combine it with shegeft (wonder/surprise), it literally creates "wonder-provoking," which is how Farsi expresses that something is amazing.
Why is the direct object marker râ placed after the adjective instead of right after shirin-kâri?
The marker râ must always be placed at the very end of the entire noun phrase it marks. Here, the complete direct object is in shirin-kâri-ye shegeft-angiz (this amazing trick). Because the adjective is linked to the noun with an ezâfe, râ has to wait until the end of the whole descriptive chain.
Does tashvigh kardan always mean "to applaud"?
Not always. Its primary meaning is "to encourage." However, when you are talking about an audience watching a performance, sport, or stunt, tashvigh kardan is the standard way to say they are cheering for or applauding the performers.
