Questions & Answers about بسیاری از نقطهها نادرست هستند.
Why does besyâri have an -i at the end instead of just being besyâr?
Besyâr is an adjective or adverb meaning 'very' or 'much'. Adding the suffix -i turns it into a pronoun meaning 'many things' or 'a large number'. So, besyâri az is the set phrase you need to say 'many of'.
Since noghte-hâ (dots) are inanimate objects, why is the verb hastand (plural) instead of ast (singular)?
You likely remember from earlier lessons that inanimate plural subjects usually take singular verbs in Farsi. However, when we use quantitative phrases like besyâri az to highlight a specific portion of a group, using the plural verb hastand becomes very common and natural, though ast would still be grammatically correct here.
Why is the plural marker -hâ used on noghte-hâ when besyâri az already implies a plural amount?
When you use az (of) to talk about a portion of a group, the noun that follows must be plural, just like in English ('many of the dots'). This is different from counting with plain numbers, where a Farsi noun always stays singular.
How does the word nâ-dorost translate to 'incorrect'?
It is built using the negative prefix nâ- attached to the adjective dorost (correct or right). This prefix works exactly like 'un-' or 'in-' in English and is a very common way to create opposite adjectives in Farsi.
