Questions & Answers about اضطراب عاطفی در کودکی به مراتب خطرناکتر است.
How does به مراتب mean "by far", and what does it mean literally?
به مراتب (be marâteb) is a highly useful phrase placed before comparative adjectives to mean "by far" or "much more." The word مراتب is the plural of مرتبه (martabeh), meaning "level," "degree," or "rank." So, literally, it means something is more dangerous "by multiple degrees."
What is the grammatical function of the -ی suffix in کودکی?
کودک (kudak) means "child." The -ی (-i) suffix here acts as a noun-maker that creates abstract nouns out of regular nouns and adjectives, translating roughly to the English suffixes "-hood" or "-ness." Thus, it turns "child" into "childhood." You will also see this in words like جوانی (javâni - youth, from young) or خوبی (khubi - goodness, from good).
The noun for "emotion" is عاطفه (âtefeh). Why does it lose its final letter in عاطفی (âtefi)?
To turn the noun into an adjective ("emotional"), we add the relational suffix -ی (-i). When a Farsi word ends in the "silent heh" (ه) — which represents a short "e" sound — that final vowel sound and the letter itself are dropped before adding the -ی. So عاطفه (âtefeh) smoothly becomes عاطفی (âtefi).
