Questions & Answers about در صورت عدم توجه به مقررات، مهماندار به مسافر تذکر میدهد.
How does the formal conditional phrase dar surat-e connect to the rest of the sentence here?
It uses an Ezafe to connect to the noun phrase that follows it. In this sentence, it connects to 'adam-e tavajjoh (inattention), creating the meaning "in the event of inattention". This structure replaces standard "if" clauses (like agar) in formal or written Farsi.
Why is 'adam-e used before tavajjoh instead of just making the sentence negative?
Since dar surat-e must be followed by a noun or long infinitive rather than a full conjugated clause, you cannot use a standard negative verb. Instead, the formal word 'adam (lack of / non-) is attached via Ezafe to the abstract noun tavajjoh (attention) to mean "inattention" or "failure to pay attention".
What prepositions do the noun tavajjoh and the verb tazakkor dadan take in this sentence?
Both take the preposition be (to). "Attention to the regulations" is tavajjoh be mogharrarat, and "warns the passenger" literally translates as "gives a warning to the passenger": be mosafer tazakkor midahad.
Does tazakkor midahad work for all types of warnings?
No, tazakkor dadan is specifically used for pointing out a rule, correcting behavior, or giving a formal reminder (like a flight attendant enforcing regulations). If you were warning someone about an immediate physical danger or a threat, you would use hoshdar dadan instead.
