Questions & Answers about بسیاری از انحناها به نقطه نیاز دارند.
Why is there an -i at the end of besyâr in the phrase besyâri az?
The word besyâr on its own usually acts as an adverb meaning 'very' or an adjective meaning 'much'. Adding the -i suffix turns it into a pronoun meaning 'many'. Combined with az, besyâri az translates perfectly to the partitive phrase 'many of'.
Why do we need the preposition be before noghte (dot)?
In Farsi, the compound verb for 'to need' is niyâz dâshtan (literally 'to have need'). Unlike in English, you cannot just need something directly. You must express having a need to or for something, which is why niyâz dâshtan always pairs with the preposition be.
Could we use aksar-e instead of besyâri az in this sentence?
Yes, but the meaning would change. besyâri az specifically means 'many of', whereas aksar-e means 'most of'. Both are quantitative phrases that require a plural noun when referring to countable items like curves.
Since enhenâ-hâ (curves) are inanimate objects, does the verb have to be plural (dârand)?
Not strictly! A helpful rule from earlier levels is that plural inanimate subjects can actually take a singular verb. While this sentence uses the plural dârand, writing be noghte niyâz dârad would also be grammatically correct and is very common in everyday Farsi.
