Questions & Answers about او وسواسگونه گوشی را چک کرد، اما یک پیام هم دریافت نکرد.
How does یک پیام هم دریافت نکرد mean 'didn't receive even one message' if هم usually means 'also'?
In negative sentences, the structure یک (one) + Noun + هم (also/even) + negative verb is used for emphatic negation. Instead of just meaning 'also', in a negative context it translates to 'not even a single [noun]'. Here, it strongly emphasizes the total lack of messages.
What is the suffix attached to وسواس (obsession) in وسواسگونه, and how does it work?
The suffix is گونه, which means 'like' or 'in the manner of'. When added to a noun like وسواس, it creates an adverb of manner. So, وسواسگونه translates directly to 'in an obsessive manner' or 'obsessively'.
Is چک کرد related to the English word 'check'?
Yes, چک is an English loanword. Modern Farsi frequently adopts English words and pairs them with the auxiliary verb کردن (to do/make) to form new compound verbs, making چک کردن the standard way to say 'to check'.
Why does گوشی (phone) take the direct object marker را here if the English translation doesn't say 'her phone'?
Because it refers to a specific, definite phone. Even though the Farsi sentence literally says 'checked the phone', the object is specific and known from context, which requires the definite object marker را.
