Questions & Answers about ما باید از محلول ضد موریانه استفاده کنیم.
How is the compound adjective "anti-termite" formed here, and how does it connect to the word for "solution"?
The word zedd means "opposite" or "anti". To form a compound adjective, you connect it to a noun using the ezâfe, making zedd-e muriyâne (anti-termite). Because this entire phrase acts as an adjective modifying mahlul (solution), you need another ezâfe to link them together: mahlul-e zedd-e muriyâne.
Why is the preposition az (from) used right before the anti-termite solution?
The Farsi verb for "to use" is the compound verb estefâde kardan. This verb always requires the preposition az before the object being used. It is helpful to think of the literal translation as "making use from" the object.
Why is the verb at the end estefâde konim instead of the present indicative estefâde mikonim?
The modal word bâyad (must) forces the main verb of the sentence into the subjunctive mood. For compound verbs, the non-verbal part (estefâde) remains unchanged, while the helper verb (kardan) drops the indicative mi- prefix and takes the subjunctive form konim to match the subject mâ (we).
Can I use zedd-e with any noun to create new words, or is it only for established dictionary words?
It is highly productive and flexible. You can place zedd-e before almost any noun to create a new "anti-" or "resistant" adjective on the fly, such as zedd-e âb (waterproof) or zedd-e yakh (antifreeze). Just remember that it always requires the ezâfe connector.
