Questions & Answers about آیا به مدل ضد غبار دیگری نیاز داریم؟
How is the compound zed-e qobâr formed, and how does it connect to the word for model?
The word zed-e means anti- or counter-, and it links to qobâr (dust) using an inherent ezafe. Together, they form a compound adjective meaning anti-dust. It connects to the noun it modifies with another ezafe, forming model-e zed-e qobâr.
Why does the sentence place the preposition be right after the question word âyâ?
The preposition be is required by the compound verb niyâz dârim (we need). In Farsi, you do not just need something directly; you have a need to something (be chizi niyâz dâshtan). The be applies to the entire noun phrase that follows it.
Why is there an -i at the end of digar to make digari?
That -i is the indefinite suffix. Since we are talking about another (one of many, indefinite) anti-dust model rather than a specific one, the indefinite suffix attaches to the very end of the noun phrase, which in this case lands on the adjective digar.
What does the full ezafe chain look like for the noun phrase in this sentence?
The complete spoken chain is model-e zed-e qobâr-e digari. It links the head noun model to the compound adjective zed-e qobâr, and then uses another ezafe to link that whole chunk to the final modifier digari (another).
