Questions & Answers about بعضی از مشتریها گزینهها را با یکدیگر مقایسه میکنند، اما بعضی دیگر فقط یکی را انتخاب میکنند.
Why does the first 'some' use ba'zi az but the second one is just ba'zi digar?
In the first half, we are specifying 'some of the customers,' so we need az (from/of) to connect it to the noun. In the second half, ba'zi digar functions as a standalone pronoun meaning 'some others' or just 'others.' It doesn't need az because it isn't followed by a noun.
Why does the sentence use yeki ra instead of just yek ra at the end?
yeki means 'one [of them]' and acts as an indefinite pronoun here, standing in for one of the options. yek is just the number 'one' and is usually used right before a noun (like yek gozine). Because yeki is the specific thing receiving the action of the verb 'choose,' it takes the direct object marker ra, becoming yeki ra.
Could I say ba ham instead of ba yekdigar?
Yes, absolutely! yekdigar means 'each other' or 'one another' and sounds a bit more formal or written. In everyday spoken conversation, native speakers usually just say ba ham (with each other / together) in this context.
Is gozine used for physical items or abstract choices?
gozine means 'option' or 'choice,' and it can be used for both. You can use it when comparing physical products in a store, or when choosing between abstract things like different subscription plans, travel routes, or software settings.
