Questions & Answers about کسی دزدکی وارد انبار شده بود.
How is the word dozdaki formed to mean "stealthily"?
It is built from the noun dozd (thief). By adding the diminutive suffix -ak and the adverbial suffix -i, it literally translates to "like a little thief," which gives us the meaning "stealthily" or "sneakily."
Why is there no preposition like "in" or "into" before anbâr (warehouse)?
The compound verb for "to enter" is vâred shodan. In Farsi, you don't typically use a preposition for the destination with this verb. Instead, you link vâred directly to the destination using the ezafe vowel, making it vâred-e anbâr.
Why is the verb shode bud in the Past Perfect tense here?
shode bud forms the Past Perfect tense. In narrative stories, this tense is often used to establish background facts that occurred before the main action, setting the stage for when a character suddenly discovers what has already happened.
What is the function of the -i suffix on kasi?
The word kas means "person" or "individual." Adding the indefinite suffix -i changes it to "a person" or the pronoun "someone."
