Questions & Answers about کود شیمیایی تا چه اندازه مواد مغذی به خاک اضافه میکند؟
Could I use tâ che hadd instead of tâ che andâze in this sentence?
Yes, they are almost completely interchangeable in Farsi. Both mean 'to what extent' or 'how much.' tâ che andâze leans slightly more toward 'to what measure or size,' while tâ che hadd means 'to what limit or degree.' In this context regarding the amount of nutrients, either phrase works perfectly.
Why is tâ che andâze placed right after the subject instead of at the beginning of the sentence?
In Farsi, question words usually sit in the exact spot where the answer would go. Since the answer would likely be an adverb of degree (like 'a lot' or 'a little') describing the action, tâ che andâze is placed in the standard adverb position: after the subject (کود شیمیایی) and before the object (مواد مغذی). You could move it to the very beginning for emphasis, but this middle placement is the most natural.
The word for 'materials' here is mavâd. Is this an Arabic broken plural?
Exactly. mavâd is the broken plural of mâdde (material/substance). While you might theoretically understand a regular Farsi plural like mâdde-hâ, mavâd is the standard, everyday way to say 'substances' or 'materials.' Paired with moghazhi (nutritious) via the ezâfe, it forms the standard term for 'nutrients.'
What dictates the use of the preposition be right before xâk (soil)?
The compound verb ezâfe kardan (to add) takes the preposition be to show where something is being added. The pattern is 'to add [something] be [somewhere/something else]'. Even though the object here (mavâd-e moghazhi) doesn't have the specific direct object marker râ because we are talking about nutrients in a general sense, the destination soil still requires be.
