Questions & Answers about اواخر هفته میرم کویر تا درخشش ستارهها رو ببینم.
How does avâkher-e work to mean "late in", and isn't it technically a plural word?
Yes, avâkher is the Arabic broken plural of âkhar (end or last). Farsi uses these specific plurals linked with an ezafe to indicate a span of time during a period's end. So avâkher-e hafte literally translates to the ends of the week, but operates as a fixed phrase meaning late in the week or towards the weekend.
I see miram kavir (I go to the desert). Why is there no preposition like be before the destination?
In spoken and colloquial Farsi, the preposition be (to) indicating motion toward a destination is almost always dropped. While in formal writing you would say be kavir miravam, in everyday speech, jumping straight from the verb to the destination (miram kavir) is completely standard.
What triggers the subjunctive verb bebinam (that I see) at the end of the sentence?
The conjunction tâ (so that or in order to) triggers the subjunctive. Whenever you use tâ to introduce a clause of purpose explaining why you are doing the main action, the following verb must be in the subjunctive mood.
How is the noun derakhshesh (glow) formed?
It uses a very common noun-building pattern. You take the present stem of the verb derakhshidan (to shine), which is derakhsh, and add the suffix -esh. This suffix converts verb stems into verbal nouns that describe the action or state of the verb, much like the English suffix -tion.
