Questions & Answers about گفته میشود که این فناوری به مراتب پیشرفتهتر است.
How do we use be marâteb to emphasize the comparison in this sentence?
be marâteb is used to mean "by far" or "considerably." To intensify a comparison, you simply place it directly before a comparative adjective (one ending in the suffix -tar). Here, it sits right in front of pishrafte-tar (more advanced) to mean "by far more advanced."
What is the literal meaning of the word marâteb?
marâteb is the plural form of the word martabe, which means a "degree", "stage", or "level". When combined with the preposition be (to/by), the phrase be marâteb literally translates to "by degrees" or "by multiple levels," making it a perfect equivalent for the English phrase "by far."
How is the passive voice built in gofte mishavad (it is said)?
To make a passive verb in Farsi, you use the past participle of your main verb followed by the auxiliary verb shodan (to become). Here, gofte is the past participle of goftan (to say), and mishavad is the present tense "it becomes". Together, they literally mean "it becomes said" or "it is said."
Is the "eh" sound in the middle of pishrafte-tar an Ezafe linking two words together?
No, it is not an Ezafe. The base adjective for "advanced" is pishrafte, which naturally ends in a silent "eh" sound written with the letter Heh. The comparative suffix -tar (more) is simply attached directly to the end of the base word to make pishrafte-tar.
