Questions & Answers about روانشناس بالینی رفتار کودک پرخاشگر را بررسی میکند.
How does the phrase for "clinical psychologist" (روانشناس بالینی) break down?
روانشناس is a compound noun meaning "psychologist" (combining روان meaning "mind" or "soul", and the present stem شناس meaning "knower" or "studier"). بالینی means "clinical", derived from بالین (bedside/pillow). They are joined by the Ezafe vowel: روانشناسِ بالینی (ravān-shenās-e bālīnī).
How does the Ezafe chain function in the phrase رفتار کودک پرخاشگر?
It uses two Ezafes to link the noun, its possessor, and an adjective. The first Ezafe links the head noun to the possessor: رفتارِ کودک (the behavior of the child). The second Ezafe links the child to its adjective: کودکِ پرخاشگر (the aggressive child). Altogether, it forms رفتارِ کودکِ پرخاشگر (raftār-e kūdak-e parkhāshgar).
Why does the object marker را come after پرخاشگر instead of directly after the direct object رفتار (behavior)?
The object marker را must follow the entire noun phrase acting as the direct object. Because "the aggressive child's behavior" operates as a single cohesive grammatical block linked by Ezafe, را anchors at the very end of the chain.
Connecting to the current lesson: How would we change this sentence to say "The psychologist examines HIS behavior"?
You would remove the specific possessor (کودک پرخاشگر) and attach the third-person singular possessive enclitic ـَش (-ash) directly to the noun رفتار. This gives you روانشناس بالینی رفتارش را بررسی میکند (ravān-shenās-e bālīnī raftār-ash rā barrasī mī-konad).
Applying the lesson on Long Infinitives: If we wanted to express "examining him" as a noun phrase using this verb's infinitive, how would we attach the enclitic?
The long infinitive of this compound verb is بررسی کردن (barrasī kardan). As you learned in this module, to express the logical direct object "him" via a pronoun on a verbal noun, you attach the enclitic directly to the end of the infinitive, creating بررسی کردنش (barrasī kardan-ash).
