Questions & Answers about آیا این لهجهی غنی همچنان در شهر رایج است؟
Why use hamchenân here instead of hanuz for 'still'?
While both can be translated as 'still', hamchenân specifically emphasizes that a state has continued persistently and is exactly as it was before. It carries a slightly more formal or emphatic tone than the everyday word hanuz.
Where does the adverb hamchenân naturally sit in a sentence like this?
Like many adverbs of state in Farsi, hamchenân is quite flexible. Here it sits right after the subject in lahje-ye ghani, but you could also place it after dar shahr to say in lahje-ye ghani dar shahr hamchenân râyej ast? The meaning stays exactly the same.
Can the word ghani (rich) be used to describe a wealthy person too?
Yes, but it is a bit formal. For a wealthy person, everyday Farsi prefers puldâr or sarmâyedâr. ghani is most naturally used for things that are rich in depth, culture, resources, or history, like an accent, a language, or a country's natural resources.
Why does the ezafe sound like -ye between lahje and ghani?
The word lahje (accent) ends in a silent he. When adding the ezafe to connect a noun to its adjective, Farsi words ending in a spoken vowel sound like the short 'e' at the end of lahje require the consonant 'y' to bridge the gap, making it lahje-ye.
