Questions & Answers about او تمام سختیها را با صبوری پذیرفت.
The word سختیها means "hardships". How is it built from the word for "hard"?
It starts with the adjective سخت (hard, difficult). Adding the suffix -ی creates the abstract noun سختی (hardship or difficulty). Finally, the plural suffix -ها is added to make سختیها (hardships).
Is صبوری (patience) formed using the same -ی suffix?
Exactly! The base word is the adjective صبور (patient). Adding the abstract noun suffix -ی turns it into the noun صبوری (patience).
Why does تمام (all) come before سختیها instead of after it with an ezafe?
Quantifiers like تمام (all, whole) and همه (all, everyone) are exceptions to the usual noun-adjective order. They typically come directly before the noun they modify, and no ezafe (linking vowel) is needed. So we say تمام سختیها (all the hardships).
I remember را marks the specific direct object. Why is it placed exactly where it is here?
The word را must come immediately after the entire direct object phrase. Because the complete object he accepted is the phrase تمام سختیها (all the hardships), را goes right at the end of that block.
What is the dictionary form (infinitive) of the verb پذیرفت?
It comes from the infinitive پذیرفتن (to accept). It is a regular past tense verb here, built simply by dropping the final -ن from the infinitive to get the past stem پذیرفت (he/she/it accepted).
