Questions & Answers about شما اسیدیتهی خاک را تا چه حد بررسی کردهاید؟
Where exactly should the phrase tâ che hadd be placed in a Farsi sentence like this?
As an interrogative adverb phrase meaning "to what extent," tâ che hadd generally sits immediately before the verb or the verbal part of a compound verb. Here, it naturally precedes the compound verb barresi karde-id.
Why does the object marker râ appear before the question phrase rather than at the very end of the sentence?
The marker râ must immediately follow the definite direct object it belongs to. Here, the object is asidite-ye khâk (the acidity of the soil). It cannot jump to the end of the sentence because tâ che hadd is a separate adverbial phrase, not part of the direct object.
The word asidite looks like a loanword. How does the ezâfe work with its final letter?
asidite is a French loanword. In Farsi, it ends with a silent "heh" representing the "e" vowel sound. To connect it to khâk using the ezâfe, you must add an inserted "y" sound, written with the letter "ye", creating the pronunciation asidite-ye khâk.
Why is the present perfect tense (barresi karde-id) used here instead of the simple past?
Using the present perfect translates to "have you investigated" and emphasizes the present relevance of the action. The speaker is asking about the current state of the soil analysis, rather than just asking if a historical event occurred.
