Questions & Answers about این بدیهی است که برای برپا کردن چادر به کمک نیاز دارید.
Why do we use in (this) at the beginning when the English translation says 'It is obvious'?
In Farsi, when we want to introduce a delayed idea with a ke (that) clause, we use the pronoun in (this) as a dummy subject. It acts like the anticipatory 'it' in English phrases like 'It is obvious that' or 'It is a pity that'. The structure is in + adjective or noun + ast + ke + [rest of the sentence].
What does the compound verb barpa kardan literally mean here?
barpa kardan literally means 'to make on foot' or 'to raise up'. bar means 'on' or 'up', and pa means 'foot'. Together, they are commonly used for pitching a tent, erecting a structure, or establishing a large event.
Is there an Ezafe connecting kardan and chador?
Yes! In Farsi, full infinitives like kardan can act as verbal nouns or gerunds. To connect this verbal noun to its direct object (chador), you must use the Ezafe vowel. Literally, the phrase barpa kardan-e chador translates to 'the setting up OF the tent'.
Why is the preposition be (to) used before komak (help)?
The compound verb niyaz dashtan (to need / to have a need) always pairs with the preposition be to show what the subject requires. In Farsi, you literally say 'you have a need TO help' (be komak niyaz darid).
