Questions & Answers about ما باید درهای آسیبدیده را تعمیر کنیم.
How exactly does the compound adjective آسیبدیده translate to "damaged"?
It is formed by combining the noun آسیب (damage or harm) with دیده, which is the bare past participle of دیدن (to see). Literally, it translates to "damage-seen" or "having seen damage." This Noun + Past Participle structure is a very common way in Farsi to create adjectives that describe a resulting state.
Are there other common adjectives formed with دیده (seen) in this way?
Yes, using دیده to mean "having experienced [noun]" is a highly productive pattern. Other common examples you might encounter include ستمدیده (oppressed, literally "oppression-seen") and زجردیده (having suffered, literally "torment-seen").
Why does the direct object marker را come after the adjective instead of right after the noun?
Because را always attaches to the entire noun phrase, not just the core noun. Here, درهای آسیبدیده (the damaged doors) acts as a single, indivisible block linked by the Ezafe. You must place را at the very end of that block, after all connected adjectives.
I know باید means "must" and triggers the subjunctive mood, but why doesn't تعمیر کنیم have the بـ prefix?
Because تعمیر کردن (to repair) is a compound verb. When putting compound verbs with کردن into the subjunctive mood, the auxiliary part (کردن) traditionally becomes . However, in modern Farsi, it is extremely common and perfectly correct to drop the prefix from in compound verbs, leaving just .
