Questions & Answers about رواندرمانی به بیمار شرمگین کمک میکند.
How does the suffix ـگین change the meaning of شرم in شرمگین?
The suffix ـگین (-gin) attaches to nouns to form adjectives indicating a state of being or fullness. Here, شرم (sharm) means "shame," so adding ـگین creates شرمگین (sharmgin), meaning "full of shame" or "ashamed."
I see به (be) before بیمار. Why doesn't the sentence just use the direct object marker را (râ) for the patient being helped?
The compound verb کمک کردن (komak kardan - to help) requires the preposition به (be - to) for the person receiving assistance. While English says "help the patient," Farsi essentially says "do help to the patient." Therefore, را (râ) cannot be used here.
Is there a difference in meaning between شرمگین (sharmgin) and the more common word خجالتی (khejâlati)?
Yes, there is a significant nuance here. خجالتی (khejâlati) typically refers to a personality trait, meaning "shy" or "timid." شرمگین (sharmgin), on the other hand, means feeling active shame, guilt, or remorse about something—which is why this patient is receiving رواندرمانی (psychotherapy).
How is the subject رواندرمانی (ravân-darmâni) built from its root words?
It is a compound noun. روان (ravân) means "mind" or "soul" (often used for "psyche"), and درمان (darmân) means "cure" or "treatment." The final suffix ـی (-i) turns this combination into the abstract noun for the general practice or field of "psychotherapy."
