Questions & Answers about آیا سفر با این گروه هنوز امکانپذیر است؟
How does the suffix -pazir in امکانپذیر create the meaning "feasible"?
The noun امکان means "possibility". The suffix -پذیر comes from the present stem of the verb پذیرفتن (to accept). When attached to a noun, it forms an adjective meaning "capable of" or "accepting of". So, امکانپذیر literally means "accepting of possibility," which naturally translates to "feasible" or "practical."
Could I use the word ممکن (momken) instead of امکانپذیر in this sentence?
Yes, آیا سفر با این گروه هنوز ممکن است؟ is also perfectly correct. However, امکانپذیر is slightly more formal and heavily emphasizes the practical feasibility of the action, making it an excellent choice for talking about logistics, scheduling, or technical possibilities.
Should there be an ezâfe linking سفر to the rest of the phrase, like سفرِ با این گروه?
You will occasionally see an ezâfe used to link a noun to a prepositional phrase, but it is entirely optional and often dropped in modern Farsi. In this sentence, سفر با این گروه (traveling with this group) works perfectly and naturally as a subject noun phrase without needing an ezâfe.
How would امکانپذیر است be pronounced in everyday spoken Farsi?
In casual speech, the verb است (is) commonly merges with the word before it. Since امکانپذیر ends in a consonant, the phrase simply drops the 'ast' and takes a short 'e' sound at the end, becoming (emkân-pazireh).
