Questions & Answers about مرمتکار ما در کار خود یک بیدقتی نیز نمیکند.
How does this sentence express "not even one careless mistake"?
It uses the pattern being taught in this lesson: یک (one) + a noun (بیدقتی) + نیز + a negative verb (نمیکند). Normally نیز means "also," but in this specific negative structure, it acts as an emphatic particle meaning "not even."
Why use خود in در کار خود instead of the possessive suffix -اش (his)?
Whenever the possessor is also the subject of the sentence (here, the restorer), Farsi strongly prefers the reflexive pronoun خود (self/own). Using -اش isn't strictly wrong, but خود sounds much more natural and explicitly means "in his own work."
How is بیدقتی built, and why does it count as a specific "mistake" here instead of just "carelessness"?
It is built from بی (without) + دقت (attention/precision) + the noun-forming suffix -ی. While it generally means the abstract concept of "carelessness," it can also be used as a countable noun meaning "an act of carelessness." Pairing it with یک makes it clear we are talking about a single careless mistake.
What role does کار play in the word مرمتکار?
The suffix -کار attached to a noun indicates a profession or someone who regularly does that activity. Since مرمت means "restoration" or "repair," a مرمتکار is a restorer or repairer.
