Questions & Answers about استمرار این سر و صدای بیش از حد، ما را اذیت میکند.
The root of استمرار (estemrâr) has a doubled letter. How does it fit the "este-C1-C2-â-C3" pattern we are learning?
The Arabic root for this word is m-r-r (م-ر-ر), which relates to passing or continuing. When you plug it into the Form X pattern (este-C1-C2-â-C3), the first root letter is 'm' and both the second and third are 'r'. This gives you este-m-r-â-r (استمرار), meaning "continuation."
Why does the word for noise, سر و صدا, have an "o" (and) in the middle?
سر و صدا is a compound phrase that literally translates to "head and sound" (سر + و + صدا). Farsi frequently uses this expressive pairing to mean "noise," "clamor," or "commotion."
Where do the hidden ezafe linkers go in the subject of this sentence?
There are two ezafe links to tie the noun phrase together. The first connects "continuation" to "this noise": استمرارِ این (estemrâr-e in). The second connects "noise" to the adjective phrase "excessive": صدایِ بیش از حد (sedâ-ye bish az had). Notice that because صدا ends in a long vowel, the ezafe is pronounced as "-ye".
How does the phrase بیش از حد work to mean "excessive"?
It literally means "more than the limit" (بیش = more, از = from/than, حد = limit or boundary). In Farsi, this prepositional phrase functions perfectly as an adjective to describe things that are excessive, over the top, or too much.
