Questions & Answers about اواسط ماه، ماه کامل است و درخشش آن خیلی زیبا است.
How does avâset-e work in this sentence to mean 'mid-month'?
avâset is an Arabic broken plural of vasat (middle). In Farsi, it is used as a fixed expression to talk about the middle days or weeks of a time period. It connects to the noun with an ezafe, so avâset-e mâh means 'mid-month' or 'the middle of the month'.
Why does the word mâh appear twice in the first half of the sentence?
Because mâh is a homonym that means both 'month' and 'moon'. The first one, in avâset-e mâh, refers to the month. The second one, in mâh kâmel ast, refers to the moon.
How is the noun derakhshesh (glow) built?
It is built by taking the present stem of the verb derakhshidan (to shine), which is derakhsh, and adding the noun-forming suffix -esh. This suffix is a very common way to turn verbs into nouns that describe a state or action.
Could we use a possessive suffix instead of ân for 'its glow'?
Yes, you could say derakhshesh-ash instead of derakhshesh-e ân. Using the pronoun ân with an ezafe feels slightly more formal or literary, which matches the descriptive tone of this sentence perfectly.
