Questions & Answers about من قبل از زلزله، لرزش زمین را حس کردم.
How is the word "larzesh" (tremor) formed in this sentence?
It uses the suffix ـِـش (-esh), which creates an action noun from a verb. The verb is لرزیدن (to tremble/shake). If you take its present stem, لرز (larz), and add ـِـش, you get لرزش (shaking/tremor).
How are the words for "tremor" and "ground" connected here?
They are linked by an invisible ezafe vowel, pronounced -e. The phrase is read as larzesh-e zamin. This links the two nouns to mean "the tremor of the ground".
Why does the direct object marker "rā" come after the word for ground, instead of tremor?
Because the entire phrase لرزش زمین (the tremor of the ground) acts as the single direct object of the verb. You always place را at the very end of the whole noun phrase, not in the middle of it.
Is there a difference between the words "zelzeleh" and "larzesh"?
Yes. زلزله is an Arabic loanword that specifically means "earthquake". لرزش is a native Persian word meaning any kind of vibration, shaking, or tremor. For example, your hands could have a لرزش, but not a زلزله.
Could I use "ehsās kardam" instead of "hes kardam" for the verb "I felt"?
