Questions & Answers about سرآشپز ساندویچ جدیدی درست کرد.
Why is the -i attached to jadid instead of sândevič?
In Farsi, when a noun has an adjective, the indefinite -i (meaning 'a' or 'an') attaches to the very end of the noun phrase. Instead of adding it directly to the noun, you connect the noun and adjective with an Ezafe (sândevič-e jadid) and attach the -i to the adjective: sândevič-e jadid-i (a new sandwich).
Why isn't there a râ after the sandwich, since it's the direct object?
The object marker râ is only used for definite direct objects (like 'the sandwich' or 'that sandwich'). Because the chef made 'a new sandwich' (which is indefinite, marked by the -i at the end of jadid-i), we do not use râ.
How does the word sarâšpaz (chef) break down?
It is a compound noun made of sar (head) and âšpaz (cook). Just like in English, the 'head cook' is the chef!
Could I use the verb sâxt (made/built) here instead of dorost kard?
It wouldn't sound natural. The compound verb dorost kardan (literally 'to make right' or 'to correct') is the standard verb for preparing food, fixing things, or putting something together. The verb sâxtan is typically used for physically building or manufacturing structures, like a house or a machine.
