Questions & Answers about ثالثاً، این ساختمان نه عایق دارد و نه پارکینگ.
How does ثالثاً fit the Arabic numbering pattern taught in this lesson?
It uses the Arabic accusative ending ـاً to create a sequential adverb. The standard sequence you will hear in formal or structured arguments is اولاً for firstly, ثانیاً for secondly, and ثالثاً for thirdly.
Why is the sound at the end of ثالثاً written with a double accent mark on an alef instead of the letter nun (ن)?
That double dash is called a tanvin. It is a leftover Arabic spelling convention used in Farsi specifically for these adverbial loanwords. The tanvin tells you to pronounce an -an sound at the end, even though there is no Farsi nun written.
Why is the verb دارد positive here when the English translation is negative?
The نه ... و نه ... structure (meaning neither ... nor ...) already handles the negation for the sentence. Because those particles make the meaning negative, the verb itself must remain in the affirmative form دارد instead of the negative ندارد.
Is it grammatically correct to put the verb دارد at the very end of the sentence?
Yes, you could absolutely say نه عایق و نه پارکینگ دارد with the verb at the end. However, placing the verb immediately after the first noun is a very common and natural stylistic choice in Farsi that breaks up a list of items and helps the sentence flow more conversationally.
