Questions & Answers about من یک فلش خریدم و دیگر به سیدی نیاز ندارم.
How does digar work in this sentence to mean "anymore"?
The word digar (which you will often hear pronounced as dige in everyday spoken Farsi) originally means "other" or "more". However, when you pair it with a negative verb like nadâram (I don't have), the structure translates to "not anymore" or "no longer". Therefore, digar ... niyâz nadâram literally means "I no longer have a need."
Why do we use the preposition be before CD?
In Farsi, the phrase for "to need" is niyâz dâshtan, which literally translates to "to have a need". This compound verb requires the preposition be (to). Instead of directly "needing a CD" like in English, you are literally saying "I don't have a need to a CD anymore."
The English translation says "CDs", but CD doesn't have a plural ending in the Farsi text. Why?
When talking about a general category or a generic noun, Farsi typically uses the singular form. You are talking about CDs as a general concept or technology format here. Adding a plural marker like -hâ would make it sound like you are referring to a specific, limited pile of physical CDs you have in mind.
Are English words like flash and CD normally used like this in Farsi?
Yes! Farsi has adopted many modern technology terms directly from English. flash is the standard, everyday word for a "flash drive" or "USB stick", and CD is used exactly as it is in English.
