Questions & Answers about آنها خسته نمیشوند، زیرا رباتوار رفتار میکنند.
How does the suffix -vâr change the meaning of robât in this sentence?
The suffix -vâr attaches to a noun to create an adverb or adjective showing similarity or manner. Here, it attaches to robât (robot) to create robât-vâr, acting as an adverb meaning 'robotically' or 'like a robot' to describe how they behave.
Could I use the other resemblance suffixes, -mânand or -âsâ, instead of -vâr here?
Yes, you could use robât-mânand or robât-âsâ. However, -vâr is especially natural here because it frequently forms adverbs of manner (describing how an action is performed). -mânand tends to be used slightly more for physical adjectives, though they are highly interchangeable at this level.
Why does the first clause use nemishavand instead of a form of kardan?
In Farsi, getting tired is expressed with the compound verb khaste shodan (literally 'to become tired'). If you used kardan and said khaste nemikonand, the meaning would completely change to 'they do not tire someone else out.'
Why use the conjunction zirâ here instead of the more common chon?
Both zirâ and chon mean 'because,' but zirâ is slightly more formal and often preferred in writing. This sentence is written in a standard, formal register (using full verb endings like nemishavand rather than the colloquial nemishan), so zirâ fits the tone perfectly.
