Questions & Answers about طبق این جدول، ماشینهای شهرداری پسماند را فردا جمعآوری میکنند.
How does the preposition طبق connect to این جدول in this sentence?
طبق is a complex preposition of accordance that requires an ezafe to connect to its object. The ezafe attaches directly to the preposition, so it is pronounced tebq-e. It links to the entire noun phrase این جدول, making the phrase tebq-e in jadval (according to this schedule).
I usually translate جدول as table or grid. Is it the standard word for schedule here?
جدول literally refers to a table, chart, or grid. In the context of transportation, municipal services, or organized plans, it is commonly used as a shorthand for جدول زمانی (timetable or schedule).
Why is the present tense verb جمعآوری میکنند used when the sentence explicitly mentions tomorrow (فردا)?
Just like in English, Farsi frequently uses the present tense to talk about scheduled or highly certain future events. While you could use the formal future tense (جمعآوری خواهند کرد), the present tense is far more natural and common here because the garbage collection is part of a fixed routine.
What is the difference between جمع کردن and the compound verb جمعآوری کردن used here?
جمع کردن is the general, everyday verb for to gather or to collect. Adding the suffix آوری creates the noun جمعآوری, which implies a more systematic, formal, or large-scale collection. It is the perfect choice for official operations like a municipality collecting waste.
