Questions & Answers about آوارههای شهر بحرانزده به دارو نیز نیاز دارند.
Why is niz placed right after daroo in this sentence?
Niz is a formal additive adverb meaning also or as well. In Farsi, niz typically immediately follows the word it modifies. By placing it after daroo (medicine), the sentence emphasizes that medicine is an additional thing the displaced people need, alongside other unmentioned necessities.
Could I use ham instead of niz here?
Yes, but it would change the register. Niz is primarily used in formal or written Farsi, which matches the journalistic tone of this sentence. If you were speaking casually, you would likely use ham instead, as in be daroo ham niaz darand.
How does the suffix in bohran-zadeh work?
The suffix -zadeh comes from the verb zadan (to hit or strike). When added to a noun like bohran (crisis), it creates a compound adjective meaning stricken by or hit by that noun. So, bohran-zadeh translates perfectly to crisis-stricken.
Why is the preposition be used before daroo?
In Farsi, the compound verb niaz dashtan (to need / to have a need) requires the preposition be (to) before the object being needed. English speakers often forget this because in English we just need a direct object, but in Farsi you literally have a need to something.
