Questions & Answers about پیامرسان اداری در طول روز کاملاً خراب بود.
How does dar tul-e work here, and could I just say tayy-e ruz instead?
dar tul-e literally means "in the length of" and is used to mean "during" or "throughout" a period of time. Yes, you could absolutely use tayy-e ruz here instead! Both act as formal prepositions of duration, though dar tul-e is also very common in everyday speech. Notice that both require the hidden Ezafe (the "e" sound) to connect them to the noun ruz (day).
How exactly does the word payām-resān mean 'messenger'?
It's a compound noun. payām means "message", and resān is the present stem of the verb resāndan (to deliver / to cause to arrive). Together, it literally means "message-deliverer" and is the standard word used for messaging apps, software, or even physical messengers.
Why does kāmelan (completely) end with an 'alef' but sounds like 'an'?
This is the tanvin suffix, a grammatical feature borrowed from Arabic. Adding this "an" sound to the end of an adjective like kāmel (complete) turns it into an adverb, kāmelan (completely). It is spelled with an alef (often with a double dash on top: کاملاً), but it is always pronounced as "an".
Is kharāb the best word for an app or website being down?
Yes! While kharāb can mean physically broken or ruined, it is also the standard word to use when electronics, machinery, software, or the internet are out of order, glitching, or "down."
