Questions & Answers about او روی هر کدام از آنها یک توتفرنگی میگذارد.
Could I use har yek az instead of har kodâm az in this sentence?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable here. Both mean "each one of." In this sentence, har kodâm az is followed by the plural pronoun ânhâ (them). Using har yek az ânhâ would mean exactly the same thing.
Does the preposition ruy (on) take an unseen ezafe here before har kodâm?
Yes, it does. Although it isn't written, you pronounce it as ru-ye har kodâm az ânhâ. The ezafe connects the preposition "on" to the object phrase "each one of them."
Is tut-farangi (strawberry) a compound word?
It is! In Farsi, tut is the general word for berry or mulberry, and farangi means "foreign" or "European" (historically referring to the Franks). So a strawberry is literally a "foreign berry."
How can I tell mi-gozârad (puts) apart from the similar-looking verb for "passes"?
It comes down to the spelling of the stem. mi-gozârad comes from gozâshtan (to put), which has the present stem gozâr spelled with the letter zal (ذ). The verb for "to pass" is gozashtan, which uses the letter ze (ز) in its present stem gozar.
