Questions & Answers about بدنه ضد شوک از شکسته شدن نمایشگر جلوگیری میکند.
How does the prefix zedd-e work with loanwords like shok, and is the ezafe required?
Yes, the ezafe (the -e sound) is required to link zedd to the noun it opposes, forming a compound adjective. This applies even if the noun is an English loanword like shok (shock). It then connects to the main noun with another ezafe: badane-ye zedd-e shok (the anti-shock casing).
Why does the sentence use shekaste shodan (to be broken) instead of just the regular infinitive shekastan (to break)?
Shekaste shodan is a passive infinitive acting as a gerund or noun phrase here ('being broken'). While shekastan can mean both 'to break' and 'to get broken', using the passive past participle + shodan structure explicitly emphasizes the action happening to the screen. It translates perfectly to 'prevent the screen from being broken'.
The word for screen is namāyeshgar. Doesn't the suffix -gar usually refer to people?
Historically, yes! Suffixes like -gar (as in kārgar / worker) typically denote human occupations. However, in modern Farsi terminology, -gar is frequently used to coin words for tech devices or components that perform a specific task. So, namāyesh (showing) + -gar (doer) becomes 'display screen'.
The verb for 'prevents' is jologiri mikonad. Why is the preposition az placed so far away from it?
The compound verb jologiri kardan (to prevent) always pairs with the preposition az (from). In Farsi, the preposition must go immediately before the thing being prevented. Since the object of prevention here is the entire phrase shekaste shodan-e namāyeshgar (the screen being broken), az is placed right before that phrase, leaving the verb at the very end of the sentence.
