Questions & Answers about ضروری است که زنبوردار به سوی کندوها دود بفرستد.
Why is the verb beferestad used instead of the regular present tense?
After impersonal expressions of necessity like zaruri ast ke (it is necessary that), Farsi requires the present subjunctive. beferestad is the subjunctive form of ferestâdan (to send), built with the prefix be-, the present stem -ferest-, and the "he/she/it" ending -ad.
How does the suffix -dâr work in the word zanburdâr?
The word is formed by combining zanbur (bee) with the suffix -dâr. This suffix comes from the present stem of dâshtan (to have or hold). It is frequently used in Farsi to create job titles or describe someone who keeps or possesses something, exactly like "keeper" in "beekeeper".
Why do we need the ezafe connecting su and kanduhâ in the phrase be su-ye kanduhâ?
be su-ye is a compound preposition meaning "towards". It literally means "to the direction of". To connect the noun su (direction) to the following noun kanduhâ (hives), you must use the ezafe link. Because su ends in a vowel, the ezafe is pronounced as -ye.
The beekeeper is sending smoke, so "smoke" is the direct object. Why doesn't dud take the object marker râ?
The marker râ is only attached to definite direct objects (like "the smoke"). In this sentence, the beekeeper is sending "smoke" in a general, unspecified sense. Because the smoke is indefinite, dud does not take râ.
