Questions & Answers about غواصان مرجانهای جدید را در بستر دریا پیوند میزنند.
The verb for transplant here is پیوند میزنند. What does پیوند زدن literally mean, and where else is it used?
The compound verb پیوند زدن literally translates to "to strike a graft" or "to connect." Besides corals and plants, it is the exact same verb used in medical contexts for transplanting organs (like a heart or kidney transplant).
Why is the plural of "diver" written as غواصان instead of غواصها?
The suffix -ان is a more formal or literary plural marker, generally reserved for words referring to people (such as professions), animals, or body parts. While غواصها is perfectly fine in everyday spoken Farsi, غواصان sounds more professional and is common in documentaries, news, or scientific contexts.
What does the word بستر mean in the phrase بستر دریا (seabed)?
بستر refers to a bed, resting place, or foundation. When paired with bodies of water, it translates exactly to the "bed" at the bottom, just like in English. For example, بستر رودخانه means "riverbed." It can also be used metaphorically to mean the "foundation" or "context" of a situation.
Why does the object marker را come after جدید instead of right after the corals?
The direct object in this sentence is the entire noun phrase "the new corals" (مرجانهای جدید). The rule in Farsi is that the object marker را must follow the complete phrase, which includes the noun, the Ezafe linking vowel, and the adjective, rather than breaking the phrase apart.
