Questions & Answers about او یک سوال تمسخرآمیز و شرمآور دربارهی فرازمینیها پرسید.
How does the suffix -âmiz create the adjective tamasakhor-âmiz?
The noun tamasakhor means "mockery" or "ridicule". The suffix -âmiz comes from the verb âmixtan (to mix) and means "mixed with" or "full of". Combined, tamasakhor-âmiz becomes a descriptive adjective meaning "mixed with mockery" (mocking).
What does the suffix -âvar add to the word sharm in sharm-âvar?
Sharm means "shame". The suffix -âvar comes from the verb âvardan (to bring) and means "bringing" or "causing". Therefore, sharm-âvar literally translates to "shame-bringing", which we naturally translate as "shameful" or "embarrassing".
How do the parts of farâzamini-hâ break down to mean "extraterrestrials"?
It is built from four parts: the prefix farâ- (beyond/over), the noun zamin (earth), the adjective-forming suffix -i (relating to), and the plural marker -hâ. Literally, it means "those relating to beyond the earth."
Where are the ezâfe (linking) vowels placed in the phrase yek so'âl-e tamasakhor-âmiz o sharm-âvar?
There is only one ezâfe here: it attaches to the noun so'âl (question) to link it to the first adjective (so'âl-e tamasakhor-âmiz). We do not put an ezâfe on the first adjective because it is followed by the conjunction va (and), which is usually pronounced as o in spoken Farsi. So you read it as: so'âl-e tamasakhor-âmiz o sharm-âvar.
