Questions & Answers about این جنایت آن‌قدر اسرارآمیز بود که گمانه‌زنی در مورد آن هرگز پایان نیافت.
How would the verb پایان نیافت change if we used the Negative Present Perfect Subjunctive taught in this lesson (e.g., 'might not have ended')?
In this sentence, the verb is in the negative simple past: نیافت (did not end). To apply this lesson's grammar and say 'might not have ended', you would use the negative past participle نیافته plus the present subjunctive of 'to be' (باشد), resulting in: پایان نیافته باشد (pâyân nayâfte bâshad).
What are the components of the word اسرارآمیز (mysterious)?
It is a compound adjective. اسرار (asrâr) is the Arabic broken plural of سر (serr, 'secret'). آمیز (âmiz) is the present stem of the verb آمیختن (âmikhtan, 'to mix' or 'to mingle'). So, the word literally translates to 'mixed with secrets'.
How is the noun گمانه‌زنی (speculation) formed?
It combines گمانه (gomâne, 'guess' or 'supposition') with زنی (zani), which comes from the verb زدن (zadan, 'to hit/strike'). Just as 'to guess' is often expressed with the compound verb گمانه زدن (gomâne zadan), adding the ـی (-i) suffix creates the verbal noun meaning 'guessing' or 'speculation'.
