Questions & Answers about دیشب بارش تمام شد.
How is the word bāresh (بارش) built, and what exactly does it mean here?
Bāresh is an action noun meaning "precipitation" or "the act of falling". It follows the rule from this lesson: take the present stem of bāridan (باریدن) - "to rain" or "to fall", which is bār- (بار), and add the suffix -esh (ـِش).
Could I use bārān (باران) instead of bāresh (بارش) in this sentence?
Yes, but the meaning shifts slightly. Bārān refers specifically to the physical "rain" (the water), whereas bāresh refers to the action of precipitation. Weather forecasts often use bāresh because it broadly covers rain, snow, and hail.
Why does this sentence use shod (شد) instead of kard (کرد) with tamām (تمام)?
Tamām shodan (تمام شدن) means "to finish" or "to end" in an intransitive way (something ends on its own). Tamām kardan (تمام کردن) means "to finish something" (an action done by someone to an object). Since the precipitation just ended by itself without an outside actor, we use shod.
What is the origin of the word dishab (دیشب)?
Dishab (last night) is formed by combining di- (an old Persian prefix meaning "yesterday" or "past") and shab (night). You also see this same past-tense prefix in the word diruz (yesterday).
