Questions & Answers about هفت سال است که این عشق ماندگار وجود دارد.
Why does the sentence use the present tense دارد when the English translation says 'has existed'?
In Farsi, when you talk about an ongoing situation that started in the past, you use the structure [Time] + است که + [Present Tense]. The phrase هفت سال است که (literally 'it is seven years that') sets the duration, and because the love is still existing right now, Farsi uses the simple present verb دارد. English uses the present perfect ('has existed'), so you just have to remember to switch to the present tense in Farsi!
How does وجود دارد mean 'exists'?
وجود دارد is a compound verb made of the noun وجود (existence) and the verb دارد (it has, from the infinitive داشتن). Farsi doesn't have a single-word verb for 'to exist', so you literally say that something 'has existence'.
What does the adjective ماندگار come from?
ماندگار (enduring or lasting) comes from the verb ماندن (to stay or remain). The suffix ـگار is often added to a verb stem to create an adjective describing a permanent trait. So, a love that is ماندگار is one that stays.
How do you pronounce the phrase این عشق ماندگار and why?
It is pronounced in eshq-e mândegâr. You need the unwritten ezafe vowel (the 'e' sound) to connect the noun عشق (love) to its descriptive adjective ماندگار (enduring). Remember that the demonstrative word این (this) comes before the noun and doesn't take an ezafe.
