Questions & Answers about خوابگردی دقیقاً مثل بیداری است.
How is the word khaab-gardi (sleepwalking) built?
It is a compound noun made of two parts: khaab (sleep) and gardi. The second part comes from the present stem gard (from the verb meaning to wander or turn) plus the noun-forming suffix -i. Literally, it means "sleep-wandering".
Why does the word daghighan (exactly) end with the two little strokes over the alef (اً)?
Those two strokes are a symbol called tanvin, which Farsi borrowed from Arabic. When added to the end of an adjective like daghigh (exact), it acts just like the English suffix "-ly", turning the word into the adverb daghighan (exactly).
Is there an ezafe (the hidden "e" sound) connecting mesl to the next word?
Yes! The word for "like" or "similar to" is mesl, but it acts as a preposition here. To connect it to the noun you are comparing something to, you must add an ezafe. So it is pronounced mesl-e bidaari (like wakefulness).
What role does the suffix -i play in the word bidaari?
The suffix -i is extremely versatile in Farsi. Here, it is attached to the adjective bidaar (awake) to create an abstract noun. It turns the state of being "awake" into the noun "wakefulness".
