Questions & Answers about آنها علاوه بر کارتنهای خالی، دارند پالتهای سنگین را بارگیری میکنند.
Why does pâlet-hâ-ye sangin take the direct object marker râ, but kârtonghâ-ye xâli doesn't? Aren't both things being loaded?
Even though both are logically being loaded, grammar rules dictate that râ only follows the direct object of the main verb. Because kârtonghâ-ye xâli (empty cartons) comes right after the preposition alâve bar (in addition to), it acts as the object of that preposition, so it cannot take râ.
How exactly do we use alâve bar in a sentence?
alâve bar translates directly to "in addition to" or "besides." It is a compound preposition, meaning you just place it immediately before the noun or noun phrase you want to add to the action, like alâve bar kârtonghâ-ye xâli. It doesn't require an ezafe (the short "e" sound) to connect to the next word because bar already acts as the connector.
Why are the two parts of the verb, dârand and bârgiri mikonand, separated from each other?
This is how the present continuous tense is formed in Farsi. The auxiliary verb dârand (literally "they have") starts the verb phrase and usually comes before the direct object, while the main verb bârgiri mikonand goes at the very end of the sentence. They safely "bracket" the object pâlet-hâ-ye sangin râ.
The words kârtan and pâlet sound a lot like English. Are they loanwords?
Yes, they are! Farsi borrows many modern industrial and shipping terms from French and English. As you can see with and , they adapt perfectly to Farsi grammar rules by taking the standard plural suffix .
