Questions & Answers about هجوم خرسها به کندو موجب فاجعه شد.
Why do we use the preposition be after hojum?
The word hojum (attack or invasion) acts as a verbal noun here. Just like its related action verbs, it requires the preposition be to point to the target of the attack, which in this case is the hive (kandu).
How does the compound verb mojeb shodan connect to fâje'e?
The word mojeb translates to 'cause' or 'reason'. When paired with shodan to mean 'to cause' or 'to result in', it links to the outcome using an Ezafe. Therefore, you say mojeb-e fâje'e shod, literally meaning 'it became the cause of a disaster'.
Since the sentence mentions plural bears (khers-hâ), why is the verb shod singular?
The core subject of the sentence is not the bears, but rather the 'attack' (hojum). Because hojum is a singular concept, the verb correctly takes the singular third-person form shod.
How could we expand this sentence using the sentential relative clauses taught in this lesson?
Because this sentence describes a complete event, it is the perfect setup for a sentential relative clause. You could add a comma and use ke in amr (which [this matter]...) to refer back to the entire attack. For example: ...ke in amr bâ'es-e asabâniyat-e zamburdâr shod (...which caused the beekeeper's anger).
