Questions & Answers about پرنده از برده شدن به اسارت بعد از شکار میترسید.
How does the phrase borde shodan work in this sentence?
It translates to 'being taken' and acts as a verbal noun. You form this passive infinitive by taking the past participle of bordan (to take), which is borde, and adding the infinitive shodan (to be/become). Because it works like a noun here, it can comfortably sit right after a preposition.
Why is the preposition az used right before borde shodan?
In Farsi, the verb tarsidan (to fear) is almost always paired with the preposition az (from). While English speakers say they are afraid 'of' something, Farsi speakers are afraid 'from' it. Here, the bird is afraid 'from' being taken.
Why does the verb at the end, mi-tarsid, have the mi- prefix?
Adding the mi- prefix to the simple past stem tarsid creates the past continuous (or imperfect) tense. This emphasizes that the bird's fear was an ongoing condition ('was afraid') over a period of time, rather than a one-time completed action.
How does the word esarat connect to the rest of the sentence?
Esarat is a noun meaning 'captivity'. It is introduced by the preposition be (to/into), creating the phrase be esarat (into captivity). It connects directly to the passive infinitive to complete the thought be esarat borde shodan (being taken into captivity).
