Questions & Answers about مدیر کارگر کند را اخراج کرد و ما دیگر او را نمیبینیم.
How does digar work with nemi-binim to mean "not anymore"?
In Farsi, to say you "no longer" do something or don't do it "anymore", you use the word digar (which literally means "other" or "more") along with a negative verb. Here, pairing digar with the negative present verb nemi-binim (we do not see) translates to "we do not see [him] anymore."
Why is digar placed right after mâ (we) instead of at the end of the sentence?
In English, "anymore" usually goes at the end of the sentence. In Farsi, digar acts like an adverb of time in this context and typically appears near the beginning of the clause. It usually sits right after the subject (mâ) and before the object phrase (u râ).
Why are there two râ's in this sentence (kârgar-e kond râ and u râ)?
The word râ marks the specific direct object of a verb. Because this is a compound sentence with two different actions, it has two specific objects: the slow worker (kârgar-e kond) who is fired in the first half, and "him" (u) who is no longer seen in the second half. Both need their own râ.
How is "slow worker" formed in the phrase kârgar-e kond?
Farsi uses the ezafe grammatical rule—an invisible "e" sound added to the end of a word—to link a noun to its adjective. Kârgar means "worker" and kond means "slow". The ezafe links them as kârgar-e kond (worker [is] slow).
