Questions & Answers about ما فردا به آن شهر طوفانزده میرویم.
How exactly is the compound adjective طوفانزده formed?
It is made by combining the noun طوفان (storm) with زده, which is the bare past participle of the verb زدن (to strike / to hit). Together, they form an adjective describing the resulting state of the city: "storm-struck" or "hit by a storm".
What are some other common compound adjectives formed with -زده?
You will frequently see -زده paired with natural disasters or afflictions to describe affected places or people. Common examples include سیلزده (flood-struck), زلزلهزده (earthquake-struck), and گرمازده (heat-struck / suffering from heatstroke).
Where does the Ezafe go in the phrase آن شهر طوفانزده?
The Ezafe links the noun to its descriptive adjective, giving us شهرِ طوفانزده (shahr-e toofan-zade). Remember that demonstratives like آن (that) come before the noun and do not take an Ezafe, so it is pronounced an shahr-e toofan-zade, not an-e shahr-e....
Why is there a small gap between طوفان and زده rather than a full space?
That gap is a zero-width non-joiner, often called a "half-space" in Farsi typography. Since طوفانزده is a single compound word, using a half-space visually groups the components together as one lexical unit, which is the standard orthography for compound adjectives.
