Questions & Answers about برای پرواز، این خودرو نه تنها از بالها استفاده میکند، بلکه قابلیت عمودی هم دارد.
How does the 'not only... but also' structure work in this sentence?
The structure uses nah tanhâ (not only) in the first clause, followed by balkeh (but) to start the second clause. It is completed by ham (also) later in the second clause. Notice how nah tanhâ comes before the phrase it emphasizes (az bâl-hâ), while balkeh connects the clauses, and ham is placed right before the verb dârad.
Why is there an az before bâl-hâ (wings)?
In Farsi, the compound verb estefâdeh kardan (to use) requires the preposition az (from). Literally, the sentence says the vehicle 'makes use from wings.' You must always include az before the object when stating what is being used.
Could ham (also) be placed directly next to balkeh?
Usually, ham does not sit right next to balkeh. balkeh introduces the second clause, and ham is placed later on, often right before the verb or right after the specific concept being added. Here, it follows qâbeliyat-e 'amudi to emphasize the added vertical capability.
Why does the subject in khodro (this vehicle) come before nah tanhâ?
in khodro is the shared subject for both clauses. By placing it before , it sets the vehicle as the main topic doing both actions. If we put at the very beginning of the sentence, it would mistakenly emphasize that 'not only this vehicle' uses wings, implying other vehicles do too.
