Questions & Answers about مشتری پرسید که کدام قطعه قابل تعویض است.
How does the passive capability construction work in قابل تعویض?
قابل (qâbel) means "capable [of]". It connects to the following word with an ezâfe. Here, it connects to the noun تعویض (ta'viz), which means "replacement" or "exchange". Together, قابل تعویض literally means "capable of replacement", functioning as the passive adjective "replaceable".
Why do we need the word که (ke) right before the question word کدام (kodâm)?
In Farsi, indirect speech and reported questions are almost always introduced by the conjunction که (that). While English just says "asked which part", Farsi structures it as "asked that which part". This is a standard rule when verbs like پرسیدن (to ask) introduce a subordinate clause.
The common verb for "to replace" is عوض کردن (avaz kardan). Why isn't the phrase قابل عوض کردن?
When using قابل, we generally do not attach full compound verbs. Instead of using the light verb کردن, we drop it and use the core noun. While you might hear قابل عوض informally, using the formal noun تعویض (ta'viz) is the standard and most natural choice for "replacement" in contexts like machinery or electronics.
Why is قطعه (qet'e) singular here? What if the customer assumes multiple parts are replaceable?
The question word کدام (which) is strictly followed by a singular noun in Farsi. Even if the context involves multiple items, you must say کدام قطعه (which part) rather than using the plural form قطعات (qata'ât).
