Questions & Answers about آنها دارند یک تاجگل بزرگ برای نمایشگاه درست میکنند.
Why are دارند and درست میکنند separated by the rest of the sentence?
To form the present continuous tense ('are making'), Farsi uses the conjugated form of داشتن (here, دارند) as an auxiliary verb alongside the main verb (درست میکنند). The auxiliary verb is usually placed right after the subject, while the main verb stays at the very end of the sentence, 'sandwiching' the object and other details.
How does the word تاجگل translate to 'floral wreath'?
It is a compound noun made of تاج (crown) and گل (flower). A 'flower crown' is the standard Farsi term for a wreath. Since it acts as a single noun, the Ezafe used to attach the adjective 'large' goes at the very end: تاجگلِ بزرگ (tâj-gol-e bozorg).
What is the function of the suffix in نمایشگاه?
The suffix ـگاه (-gâh) is used to indicate a place or location. It is attached to نمایش (display or show) to create نمایشگاه, meaning 'exhibition' or 'showroom'. Other common examples are دانشگاه (university, from 'knowledge') and فرودگاه (airport, from 'descend').
How would we change this sentence to say they are making 'two or three' wreaths, using numerical approximation?
You would replace یک (a/one) with دو سه (two three). Crucially, even though 'two or three wreaths' is plural in English, Farsi nouns following numbers or numerical approximations remain singular. So the phrase would simply be , with no plural suffix on the wreath.
