Questions & Answers about آن رابطهی زهرآگین قطع شده است.
How does the suffix in زهرآگین work to mean "toxic"?
The word combines the noun زهر (poison or venom) with the suffix آگین (full of or tainted with). Together, they form an adjective meaning "full of poison," which is commonly used figuratively to mean "toxic."
How do I know whether to use -گین or -آگین when forming these types of adjectives?
They have the exact same meaning, but the choice depends on established vocabulary rather than a strict phonetic rule. For example, we say خشمگین (khashm-gin, full of anger) but زهرآگین (zahr-âgin, full of poison). You just need to learn which form pairs with which noun as you encounter them.
Is the verb قطع شدن normally used for relationships, or just physical things?
It is very commonly used for relationships! While it literally means "to be cut" or "to be disconnected" (like a phone line or electricity), using it for human connections to mean breaking off contact or ending a tie is a perfectly natural Farsi idiom.
Why use the present perfect قطع شده است instead of the simple past قطع شد here?
The present perfect emphasizes the current state of affairs. Using شده است highlights that the relationship was broken off and it remains disconnected right now. The simple past شد would just state the event happened, without necessarily emphasizing the present ongoing situation.
