Questions & Answers about با این قلممو، رنگها را به نسبت دو به سه راحت مخلوط میکنی.
How do you express the ratio 'two to three' in this sentence?
The phrase for 'two to three' is دو به سه. Just like in English, you use the preposition به (to) between the two numbers. To say 'at a ratio of', you add به نسبت before it, making the full phrase به نسبت دو به سه.
What is the literal meaning of the word for paintbrush?
The word قلممو is a compound noun made of قلم (pen) and مو (hair). So, a paintbrush is quite literally a 'hair-pen'.
Why is the adjective راحت used to mean 'easily' instead of a formal adverb like به راحتی?
In conversational Farsi, adjectives are very frequently used directly as adverbs without any extra markers or prepositions. While به راحتی (with ease) is grammatically correct, just dropping in راحت before the verb is the most natural way to say you do something easily.
Does مخلوط میکنی mean 'you mix' or 'you are mixing' here?
It can mean both, as the present tense in Farsi covers both general facts and ongoing actions. Here, it translates best as a general capability ('you mix') showing what you usually achieve with this specific paintbrush, rather than an action happening right this second.
