Questions & Answers about به نظر میرسد که فرهنگستان به وقت بیشتری نیاز دارد.
How does the suffix in فرهنگستان show location, and what does the word literally mean?
The word is built from فرهنگ (culture or knowledge) plus the location suffix ـستان (-estan, meaning place of or land of). Literally translating to place of culture, it is the standard Farsi word for academy.
What is the literal translation of به نظر میرسد?
It literally translates to it arrives to view. Farsi uses this impersonal construction with the verb رسیدن (to arrive) and the noun نظر (view or opinion) to express it seems or it appears.
Why does بیشتر have an ی at the end in the phrase به وقت بیشتری?
The ی suffix here acts as an indefinite article, meaning a or some. While وقت بیشتر means more time, adding the indefinite ی to the end of the noun phrase (وقت بیشتری) gives the natural nuance of some more time or an unspecified greater amount of time.
Why is there a second به before وقت in the second half of the sentence?
This به is required by the compound verb نیاز داشتن (to need, literally to have need). In Farsi, you do not just need something; you have need to something. Therefore, the phrase must be constructed as به وقت بیشتری نیاز دارد.
