Questions & Answers about کارگران بدون تجهیزات وارد موتورخانه شدند.
How does the suffix ـخانه work in the word موتورخانه?
The suffix ـخانه literally means 'house,' but it acts as a highly productive location marker in Farsi to create words for specific rooms or buildings. Here, it attaches to the loanword موتور (motor or engine) to mean mechanical room. You will also see it in common words like کتابخانه (library) and داروخانه (pharmacy).
Is there a hidden Ezafe connecting بدون and تجهیزات?
Yes! The preposition بدون (without) requires an Ezafe vowel to link it to the noun that follows. Even though it is not written, you must pronounce the phrase as بدونِ تجهیزات (bedun-e tajhizāt).
How does the compound verb وارد شدن (to enter) connect to its destination in this sentence?
The verb وارد شدن generally connects to its destination using an Ezafe, meaning the phrase is pronounced واردِ موتورخانه شدند (vāred-e motor-khāne shodand). Unlike English where you just enter a place directly, Farsi links the entry and the place together with this vowel, though it is occasionally dropped in very casual street speech.
Why does the word for equipment, تجهیزات, end in ـات?
The suffix ـات is an Arabic plural marker frequently used in Farsi for formal, administrative, or technical vocabulary. While equipment is an uncountable, singular concept in English grammar, Farsi treats it as a regular plural noun.
