Questions & Answers about هر مدل نه تنها کاملاً بیصدا است، بلکه یک طرح زیبا هم دارد.
How does the "not only... but also" structure work in this sentence?
The structure is made of three parts here: na tanhâ (not only), balkeh (but / rather), and ham (also / too). You place na tanhâ before the first point (being silent) and balkeh before the second point (having a beautiful design). Notice how ham is placed near the end of the clause, right before the second verb (dârad).
Why does kâmelan (completely) end with that "-an" sound?
It uses a suffix borrowed from Arabic, written in Farsi script with a double dash on top. Adding this "-an" ending to certain adjectives like kâmel (complete) turns them into adverbs, like kâmelan (completely). This is a very common way to form adverbs in standard Farsi.
How is the word bi-sedâ (silent) formed?
It is made by combining the prefix bi- (without) and the noun sedâ (sound / voice). This is a very productive way to create adjectives in Farsi. So, bi-sedâ literally translates to "without sound".
Do I always use a singular noun after har (every)?
Yes. Just like in English ("every model", not "every models"), the word har must be followed by a singular noun. That is why we say har model, and the verbs in the sentence (ast, dârad) match this with their singular forms.
Do the verbs ast and dârad need to be in a special mood because of the na tanhâ structure?
No, they don't. When using na tanhâ ... balkeh ..., you are simply connecting two facts. Because of this, both verbs stay in the regular indicative mood (the normal mood for stating facts). Here, they are just simple present tense verbs because they describe facts about the models.
