Questions & Answers about استهلاک برای کارمندان خطرناک است.
How does estehlâk fit the Arabic Form X pattern we are learning, and what is its root?
The word estehlâk perfectly follows the este-C1-C2-â-C3 pattern. The three root consonants are h-l-k, which relate to destruction or perishing (as seen in the word halâk). Since Form X often implies subjecting oneself to or consuming, estehlâk literally points to being completely worn down or consumed.
Can estehlâk only be used for psychological burnout, or does it apply to physical things too?
It applies to physical things too, and in fact, that is its more traditional use. In finance and mechanics, estehlâk means depreciation or wear and tear of assets and machinery. Using it for human psychological burnout is a modern metaphorical extension that is now standard in Farsi.
What is the exact breakdown of the word kârmandân?
It is built from three parts: kâr (work) plus the suffix -mand (meaning possessing or endowed with, as in soudmand for profitable). This creates kârmand (employee). Finally, the formal plural suffix -ân is added because employees are people, resulting in kârmandân.
How does the suffix work in the word khatarnâk?
The Persian suffix -nâk attaches to nouns to create adjectives meaning full of or causing. Here, it turns khatar (danger) into khatarnâk (dangerous). You will also see this in words like tarsnâk (scary, from meaning fear).
