Questions & Answers about آنها از آن خانهی جنزده میترسند.
How does the word جنزده (haunted) fit this lesson's pattern of "Noun + Past Participle"?
It is a compound made of the noun جن (jinn, spirit, or ghost) and زده, which is the past participle of زدن (to hit or strike). So a "haunted" house is literally described as a "jinn-struck" house, perfectly matching the pattern of a noun plus a resulting state.
Why do we use the preposition از here when the English translation says "afraid of"?
In Farsi, the verb ترسیدن (to fear / to be afraid) requires the preposition از (from). You don't say you are afraid of something; grammatically, you fear from it. This is a common preposition mismatch to watch out for.
Why is there a ی added to خانه in the phrase خانهی جنزده?
That is the written form of the Ezafe (the grammatical link connecting a noun to its adjective). Because خانه ends in a silent heh (ه), you must add a ی to represent the "ye" sound linking it to جنزده.
Can the adjective جنزده be used to describe people, or only places?
It can absolutely describe people! While in this sentence it means a "haunted" house, if you use it to describe a person, it means they are "possessed" (again, literally "struck by a jinn").
