Questions & Answers about ما صندلیهای تودوزیشده را داخل ماشین کلاسیک میگذاریم.
How is the word تودوزیشده formed, and how does it act as an adjective here?
تودوزیشده translates to "upholstered". It is a compound passive participle used as an adjective (which is the focus of your current lesson). It is built from the noun تودوزی (upholstery or interior sewing, combining تو for "inside" and دوزی for "sewing") plus شده (the past participle of شدن, "to become"). Together, it literally means "having-been-upholstered" and modifies the seats via the ezāfe linking vowel just like any normal adjective.
Why does the object marker را come after تودوزیشده instead of right after صندلیهای?
The direct object marker را must always follow the entire noun phrase, not just the head noun. Because تودوزیشده is an adjective attached to the seats, it is part of the complete object block: صندلیهای تودوزیشده (the upholstered seats). Therefore, را anchors at the very end of this phrase.
Does the word داخل (inside) need an ezāfe connection in this sentence?
Yes. When داخل is used as a preposition meaning "inside of [something]", it requires an ezāfe to link it to the following noun. You should pronounce it as داخلِ ماشین (dakhel-e mashin).
The verb here is میگذاریم. How do I avoid mixing this up with the very similar verb for "to pass"?
میگذاریم (we put) comes from the infinitive گذاشتن (to put or place), which has the present stem گذار. It is a classic B-level pitfall to confuse it with گذشتن (to pass/cross), which has the present stem گذر. A handy memory trick: گذاشتن (to put) has an "a" sound (alef) in both its infinitive and its present stem, whereas the verb for "to pass" does not.
