Questions & Answers about خلبان از برج مراقبت تقاضای فرود روی باند میکند.
Why is there a -ye on taqāzā in تقاضای فرود?
This sentence uses the compound verb taqāzā kardan (to request). When you state exactly what is being requested, you attach it to the noun part of the verb using an Ezafe. Here, 'request of landing' becomes taqāzā-ye forūd, and the verbal part (mikonad) is pushed to the end of the sentence.
What preposition is used with taqāzā kardan to say who you are requesting something from?
You use the preposition az (from). The standard structure is az + [person/place] + taqāzā-ye + [thing requested] + kardan. In this sentence, the pilot is requesting a landing az borj-e morāqebat (from the control tower).
Does مراقبت (morāqebat) specifically mean 'control'?
Outside of aviation, morāqebat means 'care', 'supervision', or 'monitoring' (for example, taking care of a patient or child). In the context of an airport, however, borj-e morāqebat translates specifically to 'control tower' (literally: tower of supervision).
The word باند (bānd) looks like the English word 'band'. Is it a loanword?
Yes, it is a loanword from the French 'bande', meaning a strip or band. In Farsi, it is the standard word for an airport runway. It is also commonly used to mean a lane on a highway, a medical bandage, or a criminal gang.
