Questions & Answers about زیستشناسان قلمههای آزمایشگاهی را به دریا میبرند.
How does the word زیستشناسان break down to mean "biologists"?
It is made of three parts: زیست (life), شناس (the present stem of شناختن, meaning "to know" or "to recognize"), and the plural suffix ان which is used for people. Together, a "life-knower" is a biologist.
The translation says "lab-grown", but doesn't آزمایشگاهی just mean "laboratory"?
Literally, yes. آزمایشگاه means "laboratory" and the ی at the end turns it into the adjective "laboratory-related". In Farsi, you can often use this simple adjective form to imply things like "lab-grown" or "produced in a lab" depending on the context.
I sometimes mix up "taking" and "bringing" in Farsi. Why is it میبرند here?
The verb میبرند comes from بردن (to take away from the current location). If the biologists were bringing the fragments back to the lab (towards the speaker or focal point), you would use میآورند from آوردن (to bring).
What exactly is a قلمه?
The word قلمه primarily means a "cutting" from a plant used for growing a new one. In marine biology or restoration contexts like this, it is used for "fragments" of coral that are cultivated to be transplanted back into the sea.
