How does the prefix nâ- work in the word nârâzi?
The prefix nâ- is used to make an adjective negative, similar to the English prefixes un-, in-, or dis-. Here, it attaches to the base adjective râzi (satisfied or content) to create nârâzi (dissatisfied).
Why does the sentence use az when the English translation says "with this result"?
In Farsi, the adjective râzi (satisfied) and its negative form nârâzi (dissatisfied) always require the preposition az (from). While English speakers say they are satisfied "with" something, Farsi speakers are satisfied "from" it. This is a very common preposition pairing you will need to memorize.
Could I just say râzi nistam instead of nârâzi hastam?
Yes, you absolutely can! râzi nistam (I am not satisfied) and nârâzi hastam (I am dissatisfied) mean almost exactly the same thing in everyday speech. Using the nâ- prefix just gives you a single, dedicated adjective, much like choosing dissatisfied over not satisfied in English.
Why doesn't the nâ- prefix go on the verb?
The prefix nâ- is a derivational prefix, meaning its job is to create brand new vocabulary words (like making a new adjective out of an existing one). It is not a verb negation marker. To negate the verb hastam (I am), you would change it entirely to nistam (I am not). Because we already made the adjective negative (), the verb stays positive.
