Questions & Answers about در بازرسی هیچچیز به جز قطعات لهشده پیدا نشد.
How does لهشده act as an adjective here?
لهشده (crushed) is a past participle used as an adjective (a resultative adjective) to describe a completed state. It comes from the compound verb له شدن (to be crushed). To form it, you take the past stem (shod) and add -e, giving us shode. When placed after a noun with an invisible ezafe linking sound, like in قطعات لهشده (qeta'āt-e leh-shode), it perfectly describes the resulting condition of those parts.
Why is the verb نشد negative if the sentence already says هیچچیز (nothing)?
Farsi uses negative concord, which is often called a "double negative." Whenever you use a negative word like هیچچیز (nothing), هیچکس (nobody), or هیچوقت (never), the main verb of the sentence must also be in its negative form. So, Farsi literally says "Nothing was not found."
I learned that -ها makes nouns plural. Why does "parts" end in -ات here?
قطعات (qeta'āt) is an Arabic plural form commonly used in Farsi. The singular word is قطعه (qet'e - piece/part). While you will sometimes hear قطعهها (qet'e-hā) in casual, everyday speech, قطعات is the standard and most natural way to say "parts" or "components," especially in slightly formal contexts like an inspection.
What is the active form of the verb پیدا نشد?
The active form is پیدا کردن (to find). In Farsi, many compound verbs that use کردن (to do/make) for their active form simply switch to شدن (to become) to create their passive or intransitive form. So پیدا شدن means "to be found" or "to appear," and here it is conjugated in the simple past negative as پیدا نشد (was not found).
