Questions & Answers about طول میکشد تا قطعههای فابریک جداشده را در این گاراژ سرهم کنیم.
How does the word جداشده function in this sentence?
It is a compound passive participle acting as an adjective. It is formed from the passive verb جدا شدن (to be detached). By using the past participle شده, it translates to 'having been detached' and directly modifies the parts using an ezafe.
Since this lesson is about reduced relative clauses, how would you say this with a full relative clause instead?
You could say قطعههای فابریک که جدا شدهاند (the factory parts which have been detached). Condensing it into the adjective جداشده and connecting it with an ezafe is a more natural and concise way to express this in Farsi.
Why is تا used here, and why does it translate to 'to assemble'?
The phrase طول میکشد (it takes time) requires a connector to introduce the pending action. In Farsi, you use تا (until/so that) followed by the present subjunctive. The literal structure is 'It takes time until we assemble,' which translates naturally to English as 'It takes time to assemble.'
What is the infinitive form of سرهم کنیم?
The infinitive is سرهم کردن (to put together, to assemble). In this sentence, it takes the present subjunctive form (سرهم کنیم) because it is expressing an intended action triggered by تا.
Is the word فابریک related to the English word 'fabric'?
