Questions & Answers about این گجت جدید کاملاً ضد آب و ضد ضربه است.
How does zed-e translate to the English suffix '-proof' in this sentence?
The word zed means 'anti,' 'counter,' or 'opposite.' By linking it to a noun with the ezafe vowel (-e), you create a compound adjective that shows resistance to that noun. So zed-e âb literally means 'anti-water' (waterproof) and zed-e zarbe means 'anti-blow' or 'anti-impact' (shockproof).
Why isn't the ezafe connecting zed and âb written out in the Farsi text?
Just like in most Farsi pairings, the ezafe (the 'e' sound connecting the words) is spoken but rarely written. You just write the two words separately as ضد آب and pronounce it zed-e âb. It is important not to combine them into a single word when writing.
I see the word kâmelan (completely) has the double-dash symbol at the end. Is that mandatory?
That symbol is the Arabic tanvin, which adds an '-an' sound and turns the adjective kâmel (complete) into the adverb kâmelan (completely). While native speakers sometimes just use the adjective form as an adverb in very casual street slang, using the proper -an ending is standard and sounds much more natural here.
Is gajet a direct loanword from the English word 'gadget'?
Yes, it is a direct English loanword. Farsi frequently adopts modern technology terms exactly as they sound in English. It acts like any standard Farsi noun, which is why it seamlessly takes the ezafe to connect to its adjective here: gajet-e jadid (new gadget).
