Questions & Answers about دانشمندان بررسی میکنند که اسیدیته تا چه حد مواد مغذی را تخریب میکند.
Why is there a ke (that) right before the clause with tâ che hadd? In English, we don't say 'investigating that to what extent'.
In Farsi, when you have an indirect question acting as the object of a verb like barrasi kardan (to investigate), you typically introduce the subordinate clause with the conjunction ke. You can think of it literally as 'investigating the fact that to what extent...'.
Could we use tâ che andâze in this sentence instead of tâ che hadd?
Yes, absolutely! Both tâ che andâze and tâ che hadd mean 'to what extent' or 'how much'. They are completely interchangeable here without altering the meaning or the level of formality.
Why is tâ che hadd placed after the subject asidite (acidity) rather than at the start of its clause?
Unlike English, which pulls question phrases to the front of a clause ('to what extent acidity destroys...'), Farsi usually keeps question words in the exact grammatical position where the actual answer would naturally go. Here, it sits comfortably between the subject (asidite) and the direct object (mavâd-e moghazhi râ).
How does the phrase mavâd-e moghazhi translate to 'nutrients'?
mavâd is the irregular (broken) Arabic plural of mâdde, meaning 'matter', 'material', or 'substance'. moghazhi is an adjective meaning 'nutritious' or 'nourishing'. Joined by the ezafe, mavâd-e moghazhi literally means 'nutritious substances', which is the standard Farsi term for 'nutrients'.
