Questions & Answers about این غار بیانتها تاریک تاریک است و یک عنکبوت سیاه سیاه روی مشعل است.
Is there an Ezafe pronounced between the repeated adjectives, even though it is not written?
Yes! You must pronounce them as târik-e târik and siyâh-e siyâh. The hidden Ezafe is the glue that creates this intensive structure. If you just said the words back-to-back without the short -e sound, it would sound disjointed rather than like a single intensified concept.
How do the two intensified adjectives differ in how they fit into the sentence structure here?
They are placed differently but use the exact same reduplication rule. târik-e târik is a predicate adjective describing the overall state of the cave (... ast, meaning '... is pitch black'). Meanwhile, siyâh-e siyâh acts as a direct adjective modifying the noun right next to it (ankabut-e siyâh-e siyâh, meaning 'a pitch-black spider').
Wait, does that mean there are two Ezafes in a row in the phrase for the spider?
Exactly. The noun connects to the adjective phrase with one Ezafe, and the repeated adjective connects to itself with another: ankabut-e siyâh-e siyâh. It chains together just like a list of entirely different adjectives would, even though it is the same word repeated for intensity.
Does bi-entehâ (endless) act like a normal adjective?
Yes. When you attach the prefix bi- (without) to a noun like entehâ (end), the resulting compound word functions completely as an adjective. It connects to the noun it modifies with a standard Ezafe, which gives us ghâr-e bi-entehâ (endless cave).
