Questions & Answers about در حالی که توسعهی شهر انکارناپذیر است، پیامدهای جبرانناپذیر آن هم مهم هستند.
This lesson focuses on correlatives like az yek su ... az su-ye digar. Why doesn't this sentence use them to contrast the two points?
While you could explicitly say az yek su tose'e-ye shahr..., this sentence uses dar hali ke (while/whereas) as a more concise way to present opposing sides of an argument. By pairing dar hali ke in the first half with ham (also) in the second half, the sentence smoothly weighs the two points against each other without needing the heavier 'on the one hand / on the other hand' structure.
I see the suffix -napazir in both enkar-napazir and jobran-napazir. How do we use this to build words?
The suffix -pazir comes from the verb paziroftan (to accept). Adding the negative prefix na- gives us -napazir, meaning 'incapable of' or 'not accepting'. When combined with the noun enkar (denial), you get enkar-napazir (undeniable). Combined with jobran (compensation/reparation), you get jobran-napazir (irreparable or irreversible). It is highly productive in formal Farsi for creating adjectives similar to English words ending in '-able' or '-ible'.
Can you break down the Ezafe connections in the phrase payamadhaye jobran-napazir-e an?
There is a double Ezafe chain here linking three parts. The first Ezafe (the -ye sound) links the plural noun payamadha (consequences) to the adjective jobran-napazir (irreversible). The second Ezafe (the -e sound) links that descriptive phrase to the pronoun an (that/it) to show possession. Literally, it translates to 'the irreversible consequences of it'.
