Questions & Answers about دانشمندان فردا صبح در پژوهشگاه کار میکنند.
How does the suffix گاه work in the word پژوهشگاه?
The suffix گاه is used to create location nouns. Here, it attaches to the noun پژوهش (research) to mean "place of research" or "research institute". You will see this suffix in many other location words, like دانشگاه (university, from knowledge) or فرودگاه (airport, from descending).
The translation says "will work", but کار میکنند is present tense. Why isn't the future tense used here?
In Farsi, the present tense (using the می prefix) is very often used to talk about the definite future, especially when a time word like فردا (tomorrow) makes the timeframe clear. While you could use the formal future tense (کار خواهند کرد), conversational and standard written Farsi heavily prefer using the present tense for planned future events like this.
What is the root of the word دانشمندان (scientists)?
It is a great example of derivational morphology! It starts with the noun دانش (knowledge), adds the suffix مند (meaning "possessing"), giving us دانشمند (someone who possesses knowledge, i.e., a scientist). Finally, the plural suffix ان is added because they are people, creating دانشمندان.
Could I put فردا صبح at the very beginning of the sentence instead?
Yes! Time expressions like فردا صبح (tomorrow morning) are quite flexible in Farsi. They typically go either right at the beginning of the sentence or immediately after the subject, just like we see in this example.
