Questions & Answers about در صورت ندیدن باند، خلبان مسیر پرواز را تغییر میدهد.
Why is the verb 'to see' in the infinitive form nadidan rather than a conjugated form?
The phrase dar surat-e (in the event of) requires a noun or a noun equivalent to follow it. In Farsi, the long infinitive acts as a noun. Here, the negative infinitive nadidan (not seeing) acts as the abstract noun for the condition.
Where are the unseen Ezafes in the conditional phrase dar surat-e nadidan-e bānd?
There are two Ezafe vowels at play. The first connects the conditional trigger to the action: dar surat-e nadidan (in the event of not seeing). The second connects the verbal noun to its object: nadidan-e bānd (not seeing [of] the runway).
Why does the direct object marker rā come after parvāz instead of masir?
The marker rā must follow the entire definite direct object. Because masir-e parvāz (flight route) is a single conceptual unit joined by an Ezafe, rā is placed at the very end of the noun phrase.
Does the word bānd have other common meanings besides 'runway'?
Yes, it is a versatile loanword. Depending on the context, bānd can mean an aviation runway, a musical band, a gang, or a medical bandage.
