Questions & Answers about او هر یک از خامهها را میچشد.
How does using har yek az change the grammar here compared to just using har?
har yek az means 'each one of' and must be followed by a plural noun, which is why we use khâmeh-hâ (creams). If you just used har (each/every), the noun would have to be singular: har khâmeh (each cream).
Could we use har kodâm az in this sentence instead?
Yes, you could say u har kodâm az khâmeh-hâ râ mi-cheshad. It means exactly the same thing. har kodâm az is very common in everyday speech, while har yek az sounds slightly more formal or written, but both are perfectly natural here.
Why does the object marker râ come after the entire phrase instead of right after har yek?
The specific direct object marker râ must follow the entire noun phrase it modifies. Since the complete object being tasted is the entire block har yek az khâmeh-hâ (each one of the creams), râ attaches to the very end of it.
What is the infinitive form of the verb mi-cheshad?
The infinitive is cheshidan (to taste). Its present stem is chesh, so adding the continuous prefix mi- and the third-person singular suffix -ad gives us mi-cheshad.
