Questions & Answers about کاربرد آنها یکسان نیست؛ یکی برای کار است و دیگری برای تفریح.
Why does the sentence use digari instead of just digar?
The word digar is usually an adjective meaning "other" (as in "the other book"). By adding the -i suffix, digari becomes an independent pronoun meaning "the other one" or "another". It pairs perfectly with yeki to create the contrasting pattern "one ... the other".
Can the pattern yeki ... digari be used to talk about people as well as objects?
Yes, it is completely versatile. In this sentence it refers to objects or concepts, but you can use the exact same phrase to say "one person ... the other person."
Why use kārbord for "use" instead of the more common word estefādeh?
estefādeh refers to the general action or process of using something. kārbord specifically means a thing's "application," "function," or intended purpose. Since the sentence contrasts what two items are built to do, kārbord is the exact right word.
How is "Their use" formed here since Farsi doesn't have a single direct adjective for "their"?
Farsi uses the "ezafe" vowel link (which is not written out but is pronounced as "-e") to connect the noun kārbord (application) to the pronoun ānhā (they/them). So, kārbord-e ānhā literally means "the application of them," which gives us "their use."
