Questions & Answers about درد نیش زنبور خیلی شدید است.

How are "pain", "sting", and "bee" linked together without words like "of"?
They are connected using an Ezafe chain. In Farsi, you link nouns to show possession by adding an "-e" sound between them. Here, the phrase is read as dard-e nish-e zanbur (literally "pain of sting of bee").
Does the word zanbur specifically mean "bee"?
zanbur is a general word used for both bees and wasps. If you need to be specific, a honeybee is zanbur-e asal (literally "bee of honey").
Is nish only used for insect stings?
No, nish refers to several types of animal parts used to bite, sting, or inject venom. It can mean a bee's stinger, a snake's fang, or a scorpion's tail.
How would this sentence sound in everyday spoken Farsi?
Native speakers rarely pronounce ast fully in casual speech. Because shadid ends in a consonant, ast shortens to an "-e" sound attached to the end of the word. You will hear kheyli shadide instead of kheyli shadid ast.
