Questions & Answers about این کامپیوتر جدید شامل یک پردازندهی قدرتمند است.
Why do we use the verb ast (is) here to mean 'includes'?
In Farsi, 'to include' or 'to comprise' is often expressed using the structure shâmel-e ... ast (literally 'is inclusive of ...'). Here, shâmel acts as a predicate that uses the ezâfe connector to link the subject (the computer) to what it contains (the processor), completed by the verb 'to be'.
Do I always need to use the ezâfe connector after shâmel?
Yes, when shâmel is followed by the things being included, you must connect them with the ezâfe vowel, pronouncing it as shâmel-e. You can think of it as acting like the 'of' in the English phrase 'inclusive of'.
The lesson mentions we can also use the verb shodan. Can we replace ast with a form of shodan in this sentence?
Absolutely. You can say shâmel-e yek pardâzande-ye ghodratmand mishavad. Using the present tense of shodan (to become) here is very common and still translates to the active meaning 'includes' or 'comprises'.
Why does the ezâfe connecting pardâzande (processor) and ghodratmand (powerful) take the form of -ye?
The word pardâzande ends in a silent heh (ه), which represents an 'e' vowel sound. When an ezâfe links a word ending in a vowel to an adjective, Farsi inserts a 'y' sound to bridge the gap, written with a ye (ی) and pronounced as -ye.
