Questions & Answers about تغییرات زمینشناسی ناشی از این گسل، بسیار پیچیده است.
Do we need an Ezafe to connect the noun phrase to nâshi az?
Yes! Because nâshi is an adjective meaning "resulting" or "arising," it links to the preceding noun phrase using the Ezafe vowel. Since the previous word ends in a vowel (zamin-shenâsi), you pronounce the link with a 'ye' sound: zamin-shenâsi-ye nâshi az.
Doesn't zamin-shenâsi mean the noun "geology"? How is it acting as the adjective "geological" here?
In Farsi, words for fields of study formed with -shenâsi (like zamin-shenâsi for geology, or ravân-shenâsi for psychology) can be linked directly to another noun with an Ezafe to act as an adjective. So, taghyirât-e zamin-shenâsi seamlessly translates to "geological changes".
The subject is taghyirât (changes), which is plural. Why is the verb ast (is) singular?
This is a great refresher of a core rule: inanimate plural subjects usually take singular verbs in Farsi. Since "changes" is inanimate, using the singular ast is grammatically correct and sounds the most natural.
How is the word for "fault" (گسل) pronounced in this sentence?
It is pronounced gosal. It is a specific, higher-level vocabulary word used for geological fault lines.
