Questions & Answers about آنان زیرمجموعههای غیر رسمی این زبان را بررسی میکنند.
How does the prefix zir- work in the word zir-majmu'e?
The prefix zir- literally means under or below, but here it functions like the English prefix sub-. Added to majmu'e (which means set or collection), it creates zir-majmu'e, the exact mathematical and general term for subset.
How is the word for unofficial formed here using gheyr?
The word gheyr means other or non- and is used to negate adjectives, especially those of Arabic origin like rasmi (official). It always takes an ezafe when used this way, forming gheyr-e rasmi (unofficial).
Where are the ezafe vowels in the phrase translating to the unofficial subsets of this language?
There is a chain of two ezafes here. The first connects the plural noun to its adjective: zir-majmu'e-hâ-ye + gheyr-e rasmi. The second connects that descriptive phrase to the possessor: gheyr-e rasmi-ye + in zabân.
Why is the object marker râ placed after the word zabân rather than right after the word for subsets?
The marker râ must follow the entire specific direct object phrase, not just the core noun. Because the direct object is the complete chain zir-majmu'e-hâ-ye gheyr-e rasmi-ye in zabân (the unofficial subsets of this language), râ anchors the very end of that chain.
Why does the sentence use ānān instead of the usual word for they?
The pronoun ānān means exactly the same thing as ânhâ (they), but it is a more formal or literary choice. It perfectly matches the academic tone of a sentence discussing examining language subsets.
