Questions & Answers about دکتر مفصلها را دانه دانه بررسی کرد تا ورم را پیدا کند.
Why is dâne dâne used to mean 'one by one' in this sentence?
The word dâne literally means 'seed' or 'grain' and is a common counting word for distinct objects. By repeating it as dâne dâne, the sentence uses distributive reduplication to mean 'piece by piece' or 'one by one'. It emphasizes that the doctor checked each joint individually rather than looking at them all at once.
Could the sentence use mo'âyeneh kard instead of barrasi kard for a medical exam?
Yes. mo'âyeneh kardan specifically means 'to examine medically'. However, barrasi kardan means 'to review, investigate, or inspect'. Using barrasi kard alongside dâne dâne creates a strong image of the doctor methodically going through a physical checklist of the joints.
Why is the verb at the end, peydâ konad, in the subjunctive mood?
It is in the subjunctive because it follows tâ, which means 'in order to' or 'so that' in this context. Clauses that show purpose or intention always trigger the subjunctive mood in Farsi, because the action of finding the swelling has not happened yet; it is just the desired outcome.
Both mafsal-hâ and varam are followed by râ. Is this required?
Yes, because both are specific, definite direct objects in their own clauses. The doctor checked the specific joints (mafsal-hâ râ) in order to find the specific swelling (varam râ). If you dropped the second râ, it would mean the doctor was looking for 'a swelling' or swelling in general.
