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.
