Questions & Answers about در نشست خبری، وقت دیگری به خبرگزاری اختصاص داده شد.
How is the passive formed in اختصاص داده شد?
The active compound verb is اختصاص دادن (to allocate). As you are learning in this lesson, to make a compound verb ending in دادن passive, we turn it into its past participle داده and add the auxiliary verb شدن. Here, it is in the simple past tense, giving us داده شد (was allocated).
Why do we say وقت دیگری instead of just وقت دیگر?
When دیگر (other/another) modifies a singular noun, Farsi usually attaches the indefinite suffix ی to the end of دیگر rather than the noun itself. While وقتی دیگر is grammatically possible, وقت دیگری is the much more natural and standard way to say "another time."
What is the literal breakdown of نشست خبری?
The word نشست means a session, sitting, or meeting, coming from the infinitive نشستن (to sit). Combined with خبری (news-related), the phrase نشست خبری perfectly captures the concept of a "press conference."
How does the word خبرگزاری translate to "news agency"?
It is a compound noun formed from خبر (news), the present stem گزار (from گزاردن meaning to perform, convey, or put), and the noun-forming suffix ی. Together, it describes a place or entity that conveys the news.
Is the preposition به always used with this verb?
Yes, the verb اختصاص دادن (to allocate) takes the preposition به to show the recipient of the allocation. Even when transformed into the passive voice (اختصاص داده شدن), the recipient (خبرگزاری) must still be introduced by بهبه.
