Questions & Answers about این بلندگو قابل شارژ نیست.
How does the qâbel-e construction create the word rechargeable here?
The word qâbel means capable or worthy. It connects to the following word using an ezâfe (the hidden e sound). Here, it connects to the noun šârž (charge) to form qâbel-e šârž, which literally translates to capable of charge.
The lesson says qâbel-e takes a noun or a long infinitive. Which one is šârž?
It is a noun. šârž is a loanword from French. To say to charge in Farsi, you use the compound verb šârž kardan. When using qâbel-e with compound verbs formed with kardan, you generally just drop kardan and attach qâbel-e directly to the noun part.
What are the literal parts of the word bolandgu?
It is a descriptive compound made of boland (loud or high) and gu, which is the present stem of goftan (to say or speak). Put together, a bolandgu is literally a loud-speaker.
Could I negate this by saying gheyr-e-qâbel-e šârž instead of using nist?
Yes, you can use the prefix gheyr-e- (non- or un-) to make gheyr-e-qâbel-e šârž (non-rechargeable). If you do that, the verb at the end becomes the positive ast (is). Both forms are perfectly natural, but keeping the phrase positive and negating the verb with nist is very common in everyday speech.
