Questions & Answers about سیستم ضد سرقت از دزدیده شدن ماشین جلوگیری میکند.
How is the "anti-theft" compound ضد سرقت constructed, and how does it connect to "system"?
ضد (zedd) means "anti" or "counter". It links to the noun سرقت (serqat, meaning "theft") using the ezafe vowel (-e) to form ضدِ سرقت (zedd-e serqat). Because this entire phrase acts as an adjective describing the system, you need another ezafe to connect them: سیستمِ ضدِ سرقت (sistem-e zedd-e serqat).
Why does the sentence use دزدیده شدن instead of the regular verb دزدیدن?
دزدیده شدن is a passive infinitive, meaning "being stolen." It is made by combining the past participle دزدیده (stolen) with the auxiliary verb شدن (to become). If you used the active infinitive دزدیدن (to steal), the sentence would illogically mean the anti-theft system prevents the car from stealing things!
What dictates the use of the preposition از in this sentence?
The compound verb جلوگیری کردن (jelogiri kardan), which means "to prevent," always takes the preposition از (az) to mark the action or thing that is being prevented. Here, it points to the entire passive phrase: از دزدیده شدن (from being stolen).
Is there a hidden ezafe connecting دزدیده شدن and ماشین?
Yes. When an infinitive or verbal noun is followed by its logical subject or object in a sentence, they must be linked by an ezafe. It is pronounced dozdide shodan-e mâshin (literally, "the being-stolen of the car").
