Questions & Answers about رقصندهها در پی انسجام ریتمیک هستند.
Does the compound preposition dar pey-e imply physical following or abstract pursuit?
It can be used for both! Literally, pey means 'footprint' or 'trace', so dar pey-e means 'in the track of'. While you can use it to physically follow someone, at the B2 level you will see it frequently used like it is here: for the abstract pursuit of a goal or concept, such as rhythmic cohesion. Remember that it always needs the ezafe to connect to the noun.
Could I use dombâl-e instead of dar pey-e here?
Yes, dombâl-e also means 'following' or 'looking for' and is very common in everyday speech. However, dar pey-e is slightly more formal and elevated. Since 'rhythmic cohesion' (ensejâm-e ritmik) is an artistic or academic concept, the formal tone of dar pey-e is a much better fit for this sentence.
How is the noun raghsandeh-hâ (dancers) constructed?
It uses the agent noun suffix -andeh, which translates to 'one who does [verb]'. To form it, you take the present stem of the verb raghsidan (to dance), which is raghs, and attach -andeh to get raghsandeh (dancer). The plural suffix -hâ simply makes it 'dancers'.
The word ritmik is a loanword. Do loanwords follow standard Farsi grammar rules like taking the ezafe?
Yes! Farsi has borrowed many European adjectives (often via French), and they act exactly like native Farsi words in a sentence. Because ritmik is an adjective modifying the Farsi noun ensejâm (cohesion), they must be linked by the ezafe vowel, creating ensejâm-e ritmik.
