Questions & Answers about شمشیرها در جعبه فرو میروند، ولی دستیار آسیب نمیبیند.
Why is the continuous prefix mi- placed in the middle of foru میروند?
Foru- is a spatial prefix that attaches to the verb raftan (to go) to create the separable prefix verb foru raftan (to sink). In Farsi, inflectional prefixes like the continuous mi-, the subjunctive be-, and the negative na- must be inserted between the spatial prefix and the verb stem. So, the verb becomes foru mi-ravand.
How would I make فرو میروند negative?
Just like mi-, the negative prefix ne- goes after the spatial prefix foru- and before mi-. The negative form is foru ne-mi-ravand. The order for these verbs is always: Spatial Prefix + Inflection + Verb Stem.
If the first verb is a prefix verb with foru-, what kind of verb is آسیب نمیبیند?
Âsib didan (literally to see damage) is a standard compound verb made of a noun and a light verb. Because âsib is an independent noun rather than a bound spatial prefix, the negative and continuous markers attach to the front of the light verb as usual, resulting in âsib ne-mi-binad.
The preposition در usually indicates a static location. Why does it translate as into here?
While dar often marks a static location, it naturally translates as into when paired with a verb of motion and penetration like . The directional context comes entirely from the spatial prefix verb.
