Questions & Answers about ردیاب برای دیده شدن خرس زخمی در تاریکی مفید است.
Why is the passive infinitive dide shodan used directly after the preposition barāye?
In Farsi, infinitives can act as nouns, often called verbal nouns or gerunds. Just as you can use a regular noun after a preposition like barāye (for), you can use an infinitive. Here, barāye dide shodan literally means for being seen or for the purpose of being seen.
How is the action of being seen connected to the bear in Farsi?
Because the passive infinitive dide shodan acts as a noun here, it connects to its subject using the ezāfe particle. By adding the ezāfe, we get dide shodan-e khers, which literally translates to the being seen of the bear or the bear being seen.
How long is the ezāfe chain in the middle of this sentence?
It connects three parts: dide shodan-e khers-e zakhmi. The first ezāfe connects the verbal noun (being seen) to the noun (bear), and the second ezāfe connects the noun (bear) to its adjective (injured). Together, it creates a phrase meaning the being seen of the injured bear.
How do the words zakhmi and tāriki use the -i suffix differently?
The -i suffix is very versatile. In tāriki (darkness), it attaches to the adjective tārik (dark) to create an abstract noun. In zakhmi (injured), it attaches to the noun zakhm (wound) to create an adjective. In both cases, the suffix changes the word's part of speech.
