Questions & Answers about این خودروی خودران نه تنها بال دارد، بلکه مسافران را عمودی هم انتقال میدهد.
How do na tanhâ and balkeh ... ham work together in this sentence?
The phrase na tanhâ (not only) introduces the first fact. The second part uses balkeh (but) at the start of the clause and places ham (also) later, right before the verb. Since this structure states real facts rather than hypotheticals, both verbs, dârad and enteqâl midahad, stay in the regular indicative mood.
Why is ham separated from balkeh?
Unlike the English phrase "but also" which is often kept together, Farsi usually splits them up. balkeh anchors the beginning of the second clause, while ham sits right after the specific new information it emphasizes, or immediately before the verb, as seen here before enteqâl midahad.
How is the word khodrân (autonomous) formed?
It is a compound adjective made from khod (self) and rân, which is the present stem of the verb rândan (to drive). Together it literally means "self-driving". The ezâfe linking vowel -ye in khodrow-ye khodrân connects the noun for car to this adjective.
Why does the sentence use mosâferân instead of mosâferhâ for "passengers"?
While the plural suffix -hâ works for almost any noun, the suffix -ân is specifically used for animate nouns like people and sounds slightly more formal or written. The word is then followed by râ, which marks these specific passengers as the direct object being transferred.
