Questions & Answers about آنها لوازم جانبی و بلندگو را فرستاده بودند.
Why is فرستاده بودند used here instead of just فرستادند?
فرستاده بودند is the past perfect tense (had sent), formed by the past participle فرستاده plus the past tense of 'to be' (بودند). It emphasizes that they sent the items before another event in the past, whereas the simple past فرستادند would just mean 'they sent'.
What is the literal breakdown of the word بلندگو?
It literally translates to 'loud sayer'. It is a compound made of بلند (loud or high) and گو (the present stem of گفتن, to say). It is the standard Farsi word for a loudspeaker or megaphone.
Why does the object marker را appear after بلندگو instead of right after لوازم جانبی?
The direct object of this sentence is the entire phrase لوازم جانبی و بلندگو (the accessories and the speaker). The object marker را always attaches to the very end of the complete noun phrase it marks, rather than attaching to each individual item in a list.
Is the word لوازم singular or plural in this context?
لوازم is an Arabic broken plural meaning 'necessities' or 'equipment' (from the singular لازمه). In Farsi, everyday phrases like لوازم جانبی (accessories or peripherals) function as collective nouns. Because the word already has a plural form natively, it doesn't need a Farsi plural suffix like ها here.
