Questions & Answers about کنترل کردنش بدون همسالان غیرممکن است.
How does کردنش work here to mean "controlling him"?
The compound infinitive is کنترل کردن (to control). Because it is functioning as a verbal noun meaning "controlling", we can attach the possessive enclitic ـَش (him/it) directly to the end of it to show exactly who is being controlled. This literally translates to "his controlling" and is a very seamless, native-sounding alternative to saying کنترل کردنِ او.
What is the breakdown of the word همسالان?
It means "peers" or "people of the same age." It is formed from هم (same/together) plus سال (year) plus the suffix ـان, which is the formal plural ending typically reserved for people and living things.
Is there a hidden Ezafe in the phrase بدون همسالان?
Yes, it is pronounced as بدونِ همسالان. The preposition بدون (without) requires an Ezafe to connect to the noun that follows it.
How is the word غیرممکن formed to mean "impossible"?
It is formed using غیر (non- or other than) connected by an Ezafe to ممکن (possible). The word غیر acts just like the English prefixes "un-" or "im-". Keep in mind that the Ezafe is a mandatory, fixed part of the pronunciation here, so it is always read as gheyr-e-momken.
