Questions & Answers about به بیان دیگر، باید شیشهی شکننده را با دقت نگه دارید.
What is the literal meaning of be bayân-e digar, and how does it compare to be ebârat-e digar?
Bayân literally means "expression," "statement," or "utterance." So be bayân-e digar means "by another expression." It is completely interchangeable with be ebârat-e digar (which uses the word for "phrase" or "term"). Both mean "in other words" and act as discourse markers to clarify or rephrase the previous sentence.
How is the adjective for "fragile" (shekanandeh) built in Farsi?
It is formed using the present stem of the verb "to break" (shekastan -> shekan) plus the suffix -andeh. This suffix normally creates an active participle meaning "doer of the action." While it literally translates to "breaking," it is the standard way to say "fragile" or "breakable" in Farsi.
Since bâyad (must) is used, why doesn't the verb negah dârid have the subjunctive be- prefix?
The verb negah dâshtan (to hold/keep) is a compound verb. In Farsi, when a compound verb uses a non-verbal element like negah (look/watch) combined with dâshtan (to have/hold), the subjunctive be- prefix is typically dropped. It is grammatically in the subjunctive mood here because of bâyad, but it just doesn't show the prefix.
Why is the direct object marker râ placed after the adjective shekanandeh instead of the noun shisheh?
