Questions & Answers about او مخابره کرد که سیگنال آنجا واضح است.
Why does this sentence end with است (is) instead of بود (was) if the transmission happened in the past?
In Farsi reported speech, you keep the exact tense the original speaker used. The person originally reported, "The signal is clear," so Farsi keeps the present tense است. English shifts tenses to match the past-tense reporting verb ("He transmitted that the signal was clear"), but Farsi retains the original tense.
What is the word مخابره in the verb مخابره کرد?
مخابره is a noun meaning "transmission" or "communication" (often over radio or telecom). By pairing it with کردن (to do/make), it creates the compound verb مخابره کردن, meaning "to transmit."
Is there a hidden connecting vowel (ezafe) between سیگنال and آنجا?
Yes! To say "the signal there," Farsi connects the noun سیگنال to the location آنجا using the ezafe. It is pronounced سیگنالِ آنجا (signal-e anja), literally translating to "the signal of there."
Is سیگنال a direct translation of the English word "signal" in all contexts?
سیگنال is a loanword used specifically for electronic, radio, or digital signals, just like in this sentence. However, if you are talking about a physical sign or a hand gesture, Farsi uses different words, like علامت (alamat).
