Questions & Answers about دزدگیر و حسگر ورودی هیچوقت با هم کار نمیکنند، مگر نه؟
Why is the verb کار نمیکنند negative if the English translation says "never work"?
In Farsi, words like هیچوقت (never) require a mandatory negative verb. This is called negative concord or a "double negative." While English says "never work," Farsi grammatically requires you to say "never do not work" (هیچوقت ... کار نمیکنند).
What is the literal translation of the word for burglar alarm, دزدگیر?
It literally translates to "thief-catcher." It is made up of دزد (dozd), meaning "thief," and گیر (gir), which is the present stem of the verb گرفتن (gereftan, to catch/to get).
How do you pronounce the connection between حسگر (sensor) and ورودی (entrance)?
They are connected with the hidden ezāfe vowel e, so it is pronounced hesgar-e voroudi. This links the noun حسگر to its modifying word ورودی to mean "entrance sensor."
How does the phrase مگر نه work at the end of the sentence?
مگر نه (magar na) is a very common fixed phrase used as a question tag, similar to "right?", "isn't it so?", or "do they?" in English. Unlike English, where the tag changes based on the verb (like "do they?", "aren't we?", "has she?"), Farsi simply uses مگر نه for almost all of them.
