Questions & Answers about او سومین ویراستار این ترجمه است.
Why is سومین placed before ویراستار? Doesn't the adjective usually come after the noun?
You're right that regular adjectives and standard ordinal numbers ending in -om (like سوم) come after the noun and connect with an Ezafe (for example, ویراستار سوم). However, this sentence uses the emphatic ordinal ending in -omin (سومین). These special ordinals are always placed before the noun, and they do not take an Ezafe.
Is there a difference in meaning between سومین ویراستار and ویراستار سوم?
The core meaning is exactly the same: both mean the third editor. However, using the -omin form before the noun adds a bit of emphasis to the rank or sequence. It is also slightly more formal and very common in written Farsi.
Is there a hidden Ezafe after ویراستار?
Yes! You must pronounce an Ezafe here: virāstār-e in tarjome. Because سومین connected to the noun without an Ezafe, the noun ویراستار now needs its own Ezafe to connect to the next part of the phrase (این ترجمه). The Ezafe here acts like the English word of, meaning the editor of this translation.
How is the word ویراستار formed?
It is built from the Farsi verb for to edit. The suffix -ār or -tār is often added to a verb's past stem to describe a person who does that action. You might recognize this same pattern from words you have likely seen before, such as پرستار for nurse or for buyer.
