Questions & Answers about پرستار تنفس و هوشیاری بیمار را بررسی کرد.
Why is ra placed after bimar instead of directly after the things being checked?
The direct object marker ra always goes at the very end of the entire noun phrase. The complete direct object here is the Ezafe chain tanaffos va hooshiyari-ye bimar (the patient's breathing and consciousness). Placing ra earlier would break up the phrase.
Does the Ezafe on hooshiyari-ye apply to tanaffos as well?
Yes! When nouns are joined by va (and) right before an Ezafe, the possessor usually applies to both. The single Ezafe on hooshiyari efficiently links both "breathing" and "consciousness" to bimar (the patient).
The word for consciousness is hooshiyari. How is this abstract noun formed?
It is built from the adjective hooshiyar (conscious, alert, smart) plus the noun-forming suffix -i. Adding -i to adjectives is the most common way to create abstract nouns in Farsi, which is a vital skill for building the temporal phrases you are currently studying.
How would I use the abstract noun barrasi (checking/examination) from this sentence with our current lesson's grammar, be mahz-e?
To say "upon checking the patient," you would drop the light verb kard and use an Ezafe to link the abstract noun directly to the object. The resulting phrase is be mahz-e barrasi-ye bimar.
