Questions & Answers about استاد ما یک برابریخواه واقعی است.
How does the suffix -khâh create the word barābari-khāh in this sentence?
The suffix -khâh is the present stem of the verb khāstan (to want or seek). When attached to a noun like barābari (equality), it creates a compound word describing someone who seeks or advocates for that concept. Here, it literally translates to equality-seeker.
What is the structure of the base word barābari before the suffix is added?
It is built from the adjective barābar (equal). By adding the noun-forming suffix -i, it becomes the abstract noun barābari (equality). This common word-building pattern creates the foundation for adding the -khâh suffix.
Where exactly is the unseen ezāfe vowel placed in the phrase yek barābari-khāh vāqe'i?
There is an ezāfe linking the noun barābari-khāh to its descriptive adjective vāqe'i (true or real). However, there is no ezāfe after yek (a or one) because it acts as a determiner that directly precedes the noun phrase without needing a linker.
I know the word mo'allem means teacher. How does ostād differ in nuance?
While mo'allem is an everyday word for a school teacher, ostād implies a higher level of mastery or prestige. It is the standard term for a university professor, but it can also describe a master craftsman, an accomplished artist, or a highly respected expert in any field.
