Questions & Answers about من امروز بازخورد منفی میفرستم.
This lesson focuses on nouns derived from past stems. How does the word بازخورد use a past stem?
While it doesn't use the -ار suffix taught in this lesson, بازخورد (feedback) is a perfect example of a noun built from a past stem! It combines the prefix باز (back/return) with خورد, the past stem of خوردن (to hit/collide). Literally meaning "hitting back," it perfectly captures the English concept of feedback.
The English translation says "I will send." Why does the Farsi use the present tense verb میفرستم?
In Farsi, the simple present indicative tense is very commonly used for near-future or planned actions. Because the time marker امروز (today) clearly establishes the timeline, native speakers strongly prefer the everyday present tense over the formal and slightly clunky future tense.
What is the infinitive for میفرستم and how is its stem formed?
The infinitive is فرستادن (to send). Like many older simple verbs in Farsi, its present stem is slightly irregular. The past stem is فرستاد, but you must memorize the shorter present stem فرست. The verb here is formed by adding the continuous prefix می and the first-person singular ending ـم to that present stem.
How does the adjective منفی connect to the noun بازخورد in spoken Farsi?
They are connected by the Ezafe. Because منفی (negative) directly describes بازخورد, you must pronounce a short "e" sound between them, making it "bâzkhord-e manfi". As is standard for words ending in a consonant, this connecting vowel is completely invisible in the written text.
