Questions & Answers about پستچی وظیفهشناس برای توزیع مرسولهها پلاکها را دقیقاً بررسی میکند.
How is the word وظیفهشناس constructed to mean "conscientious"?
It is a compound adjective made from وظیفه (duty or task) and شناس (the present stem of شناختن, meaning to know or recognize). By literally meaning "duty-recognizing," it serves as the standard Farsi term for someone who is conscientious, responsible, or dutiful.
Why is پلاک used here for "house numbers"? Doesn't that usually mean "license plate"?
You are right that پلاک is the common word for a car's license plate, but it broadly refers to any official identifying metal plate or plaque. Because building numbers in Iran are displayed on such metal plaques, پلاک is the everyday term used for a "house number" or "street number."
The word دقیقاً (daqiqan) ends with an extra alef. What does this ending do?
This ending represents the Arabic "tanvin" suffix (pronounced "-an"), which is very common in Farsi for creating adverbs. It functions much like the "-ly" suffix in English, transforming the adjective دقیق (exact, precise) into the adverb دقیقاً (exactly, precisely).
Why does the direct object پلاکها را come after the prepositional phrase برای توزیع مرسولهها?
While the standard Farsi word order is often taught as Subject + Object + Verb, prepositional phrases denoting purpose, time, or place can comfortably float before the direct object. Placing the purpose phrase first here is completely natural and subtly emphasizes the reason for the mail carrier's exactness.
