Questions & Answers about زنبوردار زنبورها را با دود آرام میکند، که این امر از واکنش زنجیرهای جلوگیری میکند.
Why do we use که این امر instead of just که to mean "which"?
In English, "which" can refer to a single noun or an entire preceding sentence. When referring back to an entire sentence (the fact that the beekeeper calmed the bees), Farsi usually expands که into که این امر (which this matter) or که این مسئله (which this issue). Using just که can sometimes feel ambiguous or incomplete in written Farsi, so adding این امر acts as a clear anchor to the whole previous proposition.
The verb جلوگیری میکند means "prevents". Why is there an از (from) in front of "chain reaction"?
In Farsi, the compound verb جلوگیری کردن (to prevent) requires the preposition از. You don't "prevent something" directly; instead, you "prevent from something". Therefore, از واکنش زنجیرهای جلوگیری میکند is the required structure.
How is the word for "beekeeper" (زنبوردار) formed?
It is made of زنبور (bee) plus the suffix دار (keeper/holder). This suffix comes from the present stem of داشتن (to have). It is a very common suffix in Farsi for professions or ownership, as seen in words like حسابدار (accountant / "account-holder").
Can you break down the spelling and grammar of زنجیرهای in "chain reaction" (واکنش زنجیرهای)?
The base noun is زنجیره (zanjireh), meaning a series or chain system. To turn it into a modifying adjective, we add the suffix (-i). Because ends in a silent 'h', Farsi inserts a 'y' sound to connect them, making it 'zanjireh-yi'. In writing, this connecting sound is usually shown with a small hamza over the final letter.
