Questions & Answers about عکسای بشقابپرنده سحرآمیز اما جنونآمیزن.
How does the suffix -âmiz work in the words sehr-âmiz and jonun-âmiz?
The suffix -âmiz comes from the present stem of the verb âmikhtan (to mix). When attached to a noun like sehr (magic) or jonun (insanity or madness), it creates an adjective meaning mixed with or full of that concept. Therefore, sehr-âmiz means full of magic (magical) and jonun-âmiz means mixed with madness (insane).
I see aks-â-ye at the beginning. Is this a colloquial form of the plural?
Exactly. The formal written word for pictures is aks-hâ. In spoken Farsi, the h in the plural suffix -hâ is frequently dropped, leaving just -â. Because the word now ends in a vowel, the ezâfe (the linking sound that shows possession or description) becomes -ye instead of just -e, giving us the spoken form aks-â-ye.
The word boshqâb-parande translates to flying saucer, but what are its literal parts?
It is a very literal compound word: boshqâb means plate, and parande means flying (or bird, derived from the present stem of paridan, to fly). Farsi uses flying plate exactly the same way English uses flying saucer.
Where is the verb in this sentence?
It is attached to the very last word. jonun-âmiz-an is a combination of the adjective jonun-âmiz and the spoken verb -an (they are). This -an is the colloquial, shortened version of the formal verb hastand. It takes the plural form to agree with the subject of the sentence, the pictures (aks-â).
