Questions & Answers about من همه فایلها را پاک کردم و برای سمزدایی دیجیتال، یک اپلیکیشن هم نگه نداشتم.
How does the phrase یک اپلیکیشن هم نگه نداشتم express "didn't keep even one app"?
This uses the emphatic scalar negation structure you are currently learning. By framing the noun between یک (one) and هم (also/even), and pairing it with the negative verb نگه نداشتم (I didn't keep), it strongly emphasizes that "not even a single one" was left.
What is the literal breakdown of the word سمزدایی (detox)?
It is a compound built from سم (poison or toxin) and زدایی (removal or clearing away, from the formal verb زدودن). Put together, it literally translates to "poison-removal."
Does پاک کردن always mean "to delete"?
Its basic meaning is "to clean" or "to wipe," but in modern digital contexts like managing files, software, or text, it is the standard Farsi term for "to erase" or "to delete."
Why does the negative prefix go on the second word in نگه نداشتم?
Because نگه داشتن (to keep) is a compound verb. As a quick refresher, the negative prefix is always attached to the conjugated verbal part, which here is داشتم (making it نداشتم), while the non-verbal part نگه stays exactly as it is.
