Questions & Answers about وزش باد آنقدر شدید بود که درخت شکست.
How is the word وزش (blowing) formed in this sentence?
It follows the rule of making an action noun by adding the suffix ـِش (-esh) to a present stem. The verb is وزیدن (to blow) and its present stem is وز. Adding the suffix gives us وز + ـِش = وزش (vazesh).
Is there an Ezafe (the linking 'e' sound) in the phrase وزش باد?
Yes! Although it is not written, it is pronounced vazesh-e bād. The Ezafe links the action noun (the blowing) to the noun (the wind) to mean 'the blowing of the wind'.
How does the structure for 'so... that...' work here?
Farsi uses the pair آنقدر ... که (literally 'that much ... that'). You place your adjective right after آنقدر. So, آنقدر شدید بود که translates to 'it was so severe that'.
Why doesn't the verb شکست (broke) have an object here?
The verb شکستن (to break) can be used when someone breaks something, but also when something simply breaks on its own. In the second part of the sentence, درخت (tree) is the subject, so it just means 'the tree broke' without needing a direct object.
