Questions & Answers about انگار همسایهی جدید خیلی سر و صدا میکند.
Why do we use the indicative verb میکند here instead of the subjunctive?
In this sentence, انگار means "it seems that" and expresses an assumption based on real evidence (you can probably hear the noise). When انگار expresses a likely reality or observation, it takes the indicative. If it were a purely hypothetical "as if" (e.g., "he acts as if he were the boss"), you would use the subjunctive.
What is the literal meaning of سر و صدا?
It literally translates to "head and sound" or "head and voice." In Farsi, it is a very common compound noun meaning "noise" or "commotion." It is paired with the light verb کردن (to do/make), giving us سر و صدا میکند for "is making noise."
Why is there a ی attached to همسایه?
This is the ezafe connecting the noun همسایه (neighbor) to the adjective جدید (new). Because همسایه ends in a silent ه (which sounds like an 'e'), we must add the consonant ی (y) in writing and pronunciation to link them smoothly: hamsâye-ye jadid.
Could انگار be replaced with گویا in this sentence?
Yes, گویا (gouyâ) also means "it seems" or "apparently" and can replace انگار here without changing the meaning or requiring a different verb tense. However, انگار is much more common in everyday spoken Farsi, while گویا has a slightly more formal or literary tone.
