Questions & Answers about مسافران عوارض خروج را پرداخت کرده، وارد سالن شدند.
Why does the first clause end with pardakht karde instead of the fully conjugated pardakht kardand?
This is an example of clause chaining. When a subject performs a sequence of actions, written Farsi often turns the first verb into a past participle (here, karde) and drops the word for 'and'. Only the final verb in the chain (shodand) is fully conjugated to match the plural subject mosaferan.
How do you form the past participle for a compound verb like pardakht kardan in this chain?
You only modify the verb portion of the compound. The noun part (pardakht) stays exactly the same, and you change the helper verb kardan into its past participle form, which is karde.
How are the words connected in the phrase avarez khoruj?
They are connected by an ezāfe (an invisible 'e' sound). Avarez means taxes or tolls, and khoruj means departure or exit. Joined by the ezāfe, avarez-e khoruj literally translates to 'taxes of departure'.
Why is there no preposition like be (to/into) before the word salon?
The compound verb vared shodan (to enter) links directly to the destination using an ezāfe, rather than a separate preposition. Because of this, 'entered the hall' is spoken as vared-e salon shodand.
