Questions & Answers about این کانال متجاوز از صد هزار دنبالکننده دارد.
What is the difference between using motajâvez az and the simpler bish az (more than)?
While both mean "more than" or "over", motajâvez az is a more formal and elevated expression. It literally means "exceeding" or "passing beyond" and is typically used for large approximations, statistics, or official figures, making it perfect for talking about a channel's massive subscriber count.
Could I swap in the other phrase from this lesson, bâlegh bar, in this exact sentence?
Yes, you could say bâlegh bar sad hezâr donbâl-konande. Both are formal ways to say "exceeding" or "upwards of" a large number. Just be careful to pair them with their correct prepositions: motajâvez goes with az, and bâlegh goes with bar.
Why is the word donbâl-konande (follower) in the singular form when there are over 100,000 of them?
This is a strict rule in Farsi that is easy to slip up on even at higher levels: nouns following a specific number must always remain singular. So, whether it is two followers or a hundred thousand, it stays donbâl-konande, never the plural donbâl-konandegân.
How exactly is the word donbâl-konande constructed?
It is formed from the compound verb donbâl kardan (to follow). You take the present stem of kardan, which is kon, and add the suffix -ande. This suffix turns a verb into an active participle (the "doer" of the action), giving us "follower".
