Questions & Answers about فیلمبردار دارد به تظاهرات میرود.
Why are the verbs dârad and mi-ravad separated by the destination?
In Farsi's present progressive tense, the auxiliary verb (dârad) and the main verb (mi-ravad) usually bracket the rest of the sentence. Unlike English where we keep the verbs together like 'is going to the demonstration', Farsi puts the auxiliary early on and pushes the main verb to the very end.
Is dârad strictly necessary, or could I just use mi-ravad on its own?
You could just use mi-ravad, which can mean either 'goes' or 'is going'. Adding dârad specifically emphasizes that the action is happening right at this very moment, making it clear that the cameraman is currently on his way there.
How does the word film-bardâr translate to 'cameraman'?
It is a compound word made of film (film or movie) and bardâr, which is the present stem of the verb bardâshtan (to pick up or take). Literally, it translates to 'film-taker'.
The word tazâhorât ends in '-ât'. Does that mean it is a plural word?
Yes, the -ât suffix is an Arabic plural ending frequently used in Farsi. Even though it is technically plural (demonstrations), it is often translated as a singular 'demonstration' or 'protest' in English when referring to a single organized event.
