Questions & Answers about عقاب در ازای گوشت، چشمبند را میپذیرد.
Could I use dar qebâl-e instead of dar ezâ-ye in this sentence?
dar ezâ-ye specifically means 'in exchange for' or 'in return for', which perfectly describes trading meat for the hood. dar qebâl-e means 'vis-à-vis' or 'towards' (like having a duty towards someone) and wouldn't make sense for a direct physical transaction like this.
Why does râ appear after cheshm-band but not after gusht?
râ only marks a specific direct object. Here, the hood (cheshm-band) is the specific direct object being accepted. gusht is the object of the prepositional phrase dar ezâ-ye, so it cannot take râ. Furthermore, 'meat' is being spoken about generally here.
How is the compound word cheshm-band formed?
It literally means 'eye-binder'. It combines cheshm (eye) with band, which is the present stem of the verb bastan (to tie or close). While usually translated as 'blindfold' in everyday conversation, in the context of birds of prey, it refers to a falconry hood.
What is the infinitive for the verb mipazirad?
The infinitive is paziroftan (to accept). Its present stem is irregular: pazir. Adding the continuous prefix mi- and the third-person singular ending -ad gives us mipazirad.
