Questions & Answers about والدین قبل از مهمانی نوجوان سرکش را نصیحت میکنند.
Why doesn't the word for parents (vâledeyn) have a normal Farsi plural ending like -hâ or -ân?
Vâledeyn is borrowed from Arabic. In Arabic, the -eyn ending is a dual form meaning exactly two of something. Farsi adopted this specific word as the standard term for parents, so it comes with its own built-in plural sense and does not need a standard Farsi plural suffix.
I don't see a connecting word between teenager (nojavân) and rebellious (sarkesh). How are they linked?
They are linked by the ezafe, which is a short -e vowel sound added to the end of the noun. It is pronounced nojavân-e sarkesh. Since the ezafe is a short vowel, it is almost never written in the Persian alphabet, but you must say it to connect a noun to its adjective.
Why does the object marker râ come after the adjective instead of the noun?
The word râ always follows the entire noun phrase that acts as the specific direct object. Because the adjective sarkesh (rebellious) is part of the noun phrase describing the teenager, râ must go at the very end of the group, not immediately after the noun itself.
How does the verb nasihat mi-konand break down?
It is a compound verb made from the noun nasihat (advice) and the verb kardan (to do). The verb part is conjugated in the present indicative form for the third-person plural (they, referring to the parents), so it literally translates to they do advice.
