Questions & Answers about فیلمبردار دارد رویداد را ضبط میکند، اینطور نیست؟
How does the present progressive work with a compound verb like zabt kardan in this sentence?
The auxiliary verb dârad comes early in the sentence, right after the subject. However, the main compound verb stays at the end. Notice that the non-verbal part (zabt) and the conjugated verb (mi-konad) stay stuck together. You don't split the compound verb apart when adding the progressive auxiliary.
Why is ruydâd râ (the event) placed between dârad and zabt mi-konad?
This is the standard word order for the present progressive in Farsi. The structure is: Subject + Auxiliary (dârad) + Object (ruydâd râ) + Main Verb (zabt mi-konad). The auxiliary and the main verb act like bookends for the object.
Does the tag question in-tovr nist? (isn't he?) change if the subject changes?
No, and that makes it very easy to use! While English changes the tag to match the subject and tense ("isn't he?", "aren't they?", "doesn't she?"), Farsi uses in-tovr nist? (literally "is it not this way?") for almost everything. In casual spoken Farsi, you will also hear mâge na? or simply na?.
How is the word film-bardâr (cameraman) constructed?
It's a compound noun made of film and bardâr. bardâr is the present root of the verb bardâshtan (to pick up, to take). So, a film-bardâr is literally a "film-taker". Combining a noun with a present stem is a very common pattern for naming professions in Farsi.
