Questions & Answers about ما لپتاپ کند را جایگزین کردیم و دیگر از آن استفاده نمیکنیم.
How does دیگر change the meaning of the second half of the sentence?
In Farsi, using the adverb دیگر alongside a negative verb expresses discontinuation. While استفاده نمیکنیم by itself simply means "we do not use", adding دیگر earlier in the clause changes it to "we do not use [it] anymore" or "we no longer use [it]".
Why do we say از آن before the verb for "use"?
The Farsi verb for "to use" is a compound verb that always pairs with the preposition از (from). The full structure is از چیزی استفاده کردن (literally "to make use from something"). To say "we use it", you must include the preposition and say از آن استفاده میکنیم.
Why is the object marker را placed after کند (slow) instead of directly after لپتاپ (laptop)?
The definite object marker را must be placed at the very end of the entire noun phrase it marks. Because "the slow laptop" (لپتاپ کند) acts as a single noun phrase, را goes after the adjective rather than the noun itself.
How is the verb جایگزین کردیم formed?
It is a compound verb made from the noun جایگزین (meaning "substitute" or "replacement") and the past tense "we" form of the verb کردن (to do/make). Together, جایگزین کردن means "to replace".
