Questions & Answers about گوشی ضد ضربه است و دو سال گارانتی دارد.
How does the compound zedd-e zarbe literally translate to mean 'shockproof'?
The word zedd means opposite, anti-, or counter-, and zarbe means a blow, impact, or shock. Linked by an ezafe, zedd-e zarbe literally means anti-impact, which is the standard way to express shockproof or impact-resistant in Farsi.
Is the ezafe (the 'e' sound) connecting zedd and zarbe mandatory here?
Yes. Whenever you use zedd to form an 'anti-' or 'counter-' compound noun, you must use the ezafe to link it to the noun it modifies. It will always be pronounced zedd-e.
Why is the word for year (sâl) singular after the number two (do)?
This is a core Farsi rule that is easy to slip up on even at intermediate levels: nouns that follow a specific number always remain singular. So 'two years' is simply do sâl, never the plural do sâlhâ.
I recognize that gush means ear. How does it become the word for a phone?
Adding the suffix -i to a noun often creates a new object associated with that root. Gushi originally referred to an earpiece or telephone receiver. Today, it is the most common everyday word for a mobile phone.
Is gârânti a loanword, and is it standard to use over a native Farsi word?
Yes, gârânti is borrowed from the European 'guarantee'. It is the standard, everyday word used in Iran for commercial warranties on electronics and appliances. You will usually only see the native equivalent, zomânat, in more formal or legal contexts.
