Questions & Answers about مگر تداوم این تعارض واقعا امکانپذیر است؟
The words تداوم and تعارض look very similar in structure. What pattern do they follow, and what does it tell us about their meaning?
Both follow the Arabic Form VI verbal noun pattern, which sounds out as ta-C1-â-C2-o-C3 (where C stands for the root consonants). This pattern often expresses a mutual, continuous, or reciprocal concept. تعارض (ta'âroz) means 'conflict' or 'opposition' (a mutual clash between sides), while تداوم (tadâvom) means 'continuity' or 'continuation' (a sustained, ongoing state).
Why is the word مگر (magar) at the beginning of the sentence? Doesn't it usually mean 'unless'?
While مگر does mean 'unless' in conditional sentences, it is also used at the beginning of a question to express doubt, surprise, or disbelief. By starting the sentence with مگر, the speaker implies a rhetorical question, essentially asking if something is really possible, with the strong expectation that it is actually impossible.
How is the adjective امکانپذیر (emkân-pazir) formed? Can I use this suffix to make other words?
It is a compound made of امکان (possibility) and the suffix پذیر (-pazir). This suffix is the present stem of پذیرفتن (to accept). When attached to a noun, it creates an adjective meaning 'susceptible to' or 'capable of' that thing. So, امکانپذیر literally means 'accepting possibility,' or simply 'possible.' Another common example is آسیبپذیر (damage-accepting, meaning 'vulnerable').
Where do the Ezafe vowels go in the phrase تداوم این تعارض?
There is an Ezafe linking تداوم (tadâvom) to the demonstrative این (in), pronounced as tadâvom-e in ta'âroz (the continuity of this conflict). Notice that there is no Ezafe between این and تعارض, because demonstrative adjectives like این (this) and آن (that) never take an Ezafe to connect to the noun they directly modify.
