Questions & Answers about نقاشی کشیدن این فریم سریع است. برعکس، رندر کردن آن زمانبر است.
Could I use dar mouqâbel instead of bar'aks in this sentence?
Yes, both work here, but bar'aks (on the contrary / conversely) is especially natural because fast and time-consuming are direct opposites. dar mouqâbel (in contrast) is often used to compare two different situations that are not necessarily strict opposites, though the two connectors overlap heavily.
Why is there an ezâfe linking the verbs keshidan and kardan to the words after them?
In this sentence, the compound infinitives naqâshi keshidan (to paint) and rendar kardan (to render) are acting as nouns (gerunds). When an infinitive acts as a noun and has a direct object, Farsi connects them using an ezâfe. You can think of naqâshi keshidan-e in ferim literally as 'the painting of this frame'.
How exactly does the word zamân-bar mean time-consuming?
It combines zamân (time) with -bar, which is the present stem of the verb bordan (to take or to carry). In Farsi, attaching the present stem of a verb to a noun is a common way to build descriptive adjectives, so zamân-bar literally translates to 'time-taking'.
Are ferim and rendar just the English words 'frame' and 'render'?
Exactly. In modern technical fields like digital art, animation, and computing, English loanwords are extremely common. As seen here with rendar kardan, they are seamlessly turned into Farsi compound verbs by adding an auxiliary verb like kardan.
