Questions & Answers about من دیگر از رادیو و کارت حافظه استفاده نمیکنم.
How does digar work with the negative verb here?
In Farsi, to express that you 'no longer' do an action, you use the adverb digar alongside a negative verb. Here, digar pairs with the negative compound verb estefâde nemi-konam to mean 'I do not use anymore'.
Why is the word az used before the radio and memory card?
The compound verb estefâde kardan (to use) always takes the preposition az (from). In Farsi, you literally 'make use from' an object, which is why az is placed right before râdio.
Could I place digar at the very end of the sentence like the English word 'anymore'?
No, because Farsi requires the conjugated verb phrase estefâde nemi-konam to be at the very end of the sentence. The adverb digar usually comes early in the sentence, right after the subject man.
How does the phrase kârt-e hâfeze translate to 'memory card'?
It uses the Ezafe grammar rule to link a noun to its modifier. The word kârt (card) is linked to hâfeze (memory) with an unseen 'e' sound, literally meaning 'card of memory'.
