Questions & Answers about کارمند راستگو و وقتشناس همیشه موفق است.
How does the compound adjective راستگو fit the 'Noun/Adjective + Present Stem' pattern?
It is formed by taking the adjective راست (right or true) and adding گو, which is the bare present stem of the verb گفتن (to say). Together, it literally means 'truth-saying' or truthful.
What are the two parts that make up the adjective وقتشناس (punctual)?
It combines the noun وقت (time) with شناس, the bare present stem of شناختن (to know or recognize). A person who is 'time-knowing' is someone who understands and respects time, meaning they are punctual.
If we change the subject to 'truthful and punctual employees', do these compound adjectives take a plural ending?
No. In Farsi, adjectives never take plural endings, even when they modify a plural noun. Only the noun and the verb would change: کارمندان راستگو و وقتشناس همیشه موفق هستند.
In natural spoken Farsi, how is the و (and) pronounced right after راستگو?
Because راستگو ends in a vowel, dropping the formal 'va' sound to use the conversational 'o' requires a consonant bridge. A 'y' sound is naturally inserted, making the phrase sound like 'rāst-gū-yo vaqt-shenās'.
