Questions & Answers about اولاً، ربات انسانمانند باید شبیهسازی را کامل کند.
How does the suffix -mânand work in انسانمانند (ensân-mânand)?
The suffix -mânand attaches to nouns to mean 'like' or 'resembling.' Here, attaching it to انسان (ensân - human) creates the compound adjective انسانمانند (humanoid or human-like). Notice that it connects to the noun it describes, ربات (robât), using an ezâfe: رباتِ انسانمانند (robât-e ensân-mânand). While used as a suffix in this lesson's context, مانند can also function as a standalone preposition meaning 'such as' or 'like'.
What is the grammatical function of the symbols at the end of اولاً (avvalan)?
The double dash over the alef is the Arabic tanvin marker, which creates the adverbial '-an' sound. Farsi borrowed this directly from Arabic. By adding it to اول (avval - first), it turns the ordinal number into the adverb اولاً (avvalan - firstly). You have likely seen this on other common adverbs like لطفاً (lotfan - please) or حتماً (hatman - certainly).
How is the noun شبیهسازی (shabih-sâzi) constructed to mean 'simulation'?
It is a compound built from شبیه (shabih - similar), the present stem ساز (sâz - from the verb to make/build), and the noun-forming suffix ـی (-i). Literally translating to 'similar-making', it is the standard Farsi term for a 'simulation'.
Why is the verb کامل کند (kâmel konad) used instead of کامل میکند (kâmel mikonad)?
