Questions & Answers about قناد روی کاپکیکها نمک نمیپاشد.
Since this lesson focuses on distributive partitive pronouns, how would you change this sentence to say "on each of the cupcakes"?
You would insert har kodâm az or har yek az (each of) directly before the plural noun. The phrase would change from ruye kâp-keyk-hâ to ruye har kodâm az kâp-keyk-hâ.
Does the word qannâd refer to any kind of baker?
No, qannâd specifically means a confectioner or pastry chef (someone who makes cakes, pastries, and sweets). If you were talking about a traditional bread baker, you would use the word nânvâ.
Why doesn't namak (salt) take the specific object marker râ in this sentence?
Because the salt here is generic and indefinite. The baker is not sprinkling a specific, previously mentioned batch of salt ("the salt"), but rather just "salt" as a general substance. Therefore, râ is omitted.
Can the verb pâshidan (to sprinkle) be used for liquids, or is it only for dry ingredients like salt?
It can be used for both! While pâshidan (present stem: pâsh) is used for scattering powders or seeds, it is also the standard verb for splashing, spraying, or sprinkling liquids like water.
