Questions & Answers about نوجوان خشمگین بود، تا با درمانگر صحبت کرد.
How does the suffix -gin change the meaning of khashm in this sentence?
The suffix -gin indicates being "full of" or "in a state of" something. By adding it to the noun khashm (anger), it creates the adjective khashmgin, which means "angry" or literally "full of anger".
Is the -gar in darmangar a similar kind of noun-changing suffix?
Yes! While -gin shows a state of being, -gar is an occupational suffix that means "doer" or "maker". It attaches to the noun darman (treatment or remedy) to create darmangar (therapist, or literally "treatment provider").
Why does ta mean 'until' here, rather than 'as soon as' or 'so that'?
The meaning of ta heavily depends on the verb tenses. Because both halves of this sentence use the simple past tense (bood and sohbat kard), it expresses a past state that ended when the next action happened, making "until" the correct translation. If the second verb had used the subjunctive mood, ta would translate to "so that".
Why is the preposition ba used with sohbat kard instead of a word for 'to'?
In English, you can say you spoke "to" someone or "with" someone. In Farsi, the compound verb sohbat kardan (to speak or to converse) naturally pairs with the preposition ba (with). You generally say you talked "with" someone rather than "to" them.
