Questions & Answers about بر اساس درجهبندی، این گوهر بیرنگ را کمنظیر میدانند.
How does the verb mi-dânand mean "consider" here instead of its usual meaning "they know"?
When verbs like dânestan (to know) take a direct object marked by râ followed immediately by a bare adjective or noun, they act as verbs of consideration. The structure is [Object] + râ + [Complement] + verb. Here, in gohar-e bi-rang râ is the object, and kam-nazir (unparalleled) is the complement they attribute to it.
Why does râ come after bi-rang rather than immediately after the noun gohar?
The object marker râ must follow the entire noun phrase it applies to, not just the head noun. Because the direct object is the complete phrase in gohar-e bi-rang (this colorless gem), râ is placed at the very end of that descriptive block.
What is the literal breakdown of the complement adjective kam-nazir?
It combines kam (little, few) with nazir (match, equal, alike). Literally meaning "having few equals," it serves perfectly here as the predicative complement meaning "unparalleled" or "rare."
There is no word for "they" or "people" in the Farsi sentence. How do we know who is doing the considering?
The 3rd-person plural ending -and on mi-dânand tells us the subject is "they." In Farsi, using this verb form without an explicit subject is the standard way to express a general consensus, similar to "people consider" or the passive "it is considered" in English.
How does the word daraje-bandi get its meaning of "grading"?
It is a compound of daraje (degree, rank) and the suffix -bandi (related to tying or organizing). The -bandi suffix is widely used in Farsi to indicate a system of dividing or categorizing things, making daraje-bandi mean "grading" or "classification."
