Questions & Answers about من میگم این برنامه ضد سرقت خیلی خوبه.
How is the compound ضد سرقت formed and used here?
It uses the word ضد (zed), meaning "anti" or "against", connected to the noun سرقت (serqat - theft) using an ezafe (-e). While technically a noun-noun combination, the entire phrase zed-e serqat functions as an adjective here to describe the app.
How do you pronounce the ezafe connections in the phrase این برنامه ضد سرقت?
You need two ezafe links. First, برنامه (barname) takes a -ye ezafe because it ends in a vowel, linking it to its modifier. Then, ضد (zed) takes an -e ezafe to link it to سرقت. The full phrase is pronounced in barname-ye zed-e serqat.
Why does this sentence mix highly colloquial verbs like میگم and خوبه with a formal Arabic word like سرقت?
Established technical or commercial terms usually keep their formal vocabulary even in casual speech. Just like in English you say "anti-theft" instead of "anti-stealing", Farsi speakers use the standard industry term ضد سرقت rather than a simpler, native word like دزدی (dozdi), regardless of how casually they are chatting.
Why isn't there a که (that) after میگم (I say)?
In spoken and informal Farsi, the conjunction که (that) is very often dropped, exactly like in colloquial English ("I say [that] this app is good"). Also, because you are stating an opinion or fact rather than expressing a desire or command, the following verb remains in the normal indicative form (خوبه / khub-e) instead of switching to the subjunctive.
