Questions & Answers about جلد چهارم فردا منتشر میشود.
Why do we use the Ezafe in jeld-e chaharom (the fourth volume)?
In Farsi, ordinal numbers ending in -om act like regular adjectives. They come directly after the noun they describe, which means they require an Ezafe to connect them. That is why we say jeld-e chaharom (volume + Ezafe + fourth).
Could I put the number before the noun in this sentence?
Yes! If you want to put the ordinal number before the noun, you must use the -omin suffix instead of -om. This makes it an emphatic ordinal. It would become chaharomin jeld (the fourth volume). Notice that when the ordinal comes before the noun, no Ezafe is used.
Why is the verb mishavad (present tense) used when the sentence says farda (tomorrow)?
Just like in English when we say "The book is being published tomorrow," Farsi frequently uses the simple present tense to talk about scheduled or certain future events. While you could use the strict future tense khahad shod (will be), using mishavad is very natural and common in everyday Farsi for things happening soon.
How does montasher mishavad work, and how would I say "they publish" instead of "it is published"?
montasher means "published" or "released". In Farsi, many compound verbs pair a word with a helper verb. Using shodan (to become) makes the verb passive, so montasher shodan means "to be published." To make it active, you swap the helper verb to kardan (to do). So, "they publish" would be montasher mikonand.
