Questions & Answers about در ادبیات کلاسیک، هم غزل و هم نثر به درون خویش اشاره میکنند.
Why is khish used here instead of khod, and does it mean something different?
khish means the exact same thing as khod (oneself or one's own), but it belongs to a much more formal or literary register. Since this sentence is discussing classical literature (adabiyāt-e kelāsik), using the literary pronoun khish perfectly matches the formal tone.
How does the phrase darun-e khish work to mean one's inner self?
The word darun means inside or interior. Just like you would use the Ezafe connector to say darun-e khod (the inside of oneself), here the Ezafe connects the noun to khish. It acts as a reflexive possessive, literally translating to one's own interior.
How does the ham ... va ham ... structure translate in this sentence?
This is the standard Farsi formula for saying both X and Y. In this sentence, ham ghazal va ham nasr translates to both the ghazal and the prose. You simply place ham before the first item and va ham before the second.
Why is the verb eshāre mi-konand in the plural form if the subjects are inanimate?
While inanimate subjects in Farsi often take singular verbs, they can take plural verbs when there is a compound subject. Because the sentence explicitly groups two distinct things together using the both X and Y structure, the verb takes the plural ending -and to show they are both performing the action of pointing.
