Questions & Answers about آیا میشود از گیشه بلیت عکاسی خرید؟
Why is the verb kharid used here instead of a conjugated form like bekharam (I buy)?
This sentence uses the impersonal possibility structure taught in this lesson: mi-shavad (it is possible) followed by the short infinitive, which is just the past stem of the verb. So, mi-shavad ... kharid means 'is it possible to buy' or 'can one buy,' without specifying who is doing the buying.
Why do we use the preposition az (from) instead of dar (at) for 'at the ticket booth'?
In English, you buy something 'at' a booth, but in Farsi, the booth is seen as the source of the ticket. Therefore, you buy it 'from' (az) the ticket booth (gisheh).
What is the literal meaning of belit-e akkâsi, and why is there an invisible -e?
It literally means 'ticket of photography'. The invisible -e sound is the Ezafe, which links the noun belit (ticket) to the noun describing its purpose, akkâsi (photography).
Can I drop the word âyâ and still ask this as a question?
Yes! âyâ is a formal word used to introduce a yes/no question. In everyday speech, you can drop it completely and just say mi-shavad az gisheh belit-e akkâsi kharid?, relying on a rising tone at the end of the sentence to show it is a question.
