Questions & Answers about از یه طرف میگه توسعه خوبه، از طرف دیگه سر و صدای شهرسازی رو نمیخواد!
The lesson teaches از یک طرف ... و از طرف دیگر, but this sentence uses از یه طرف ... از طرف دیگه. Why the difference, and where is the "and" (و)?
This sentence is highly colloquial. یک (one) becomes یه, and دیگر (other) becomes دیگه. Additionally, in everyday spoken Farsi, the conjunction و (and) that usually links the two halves of this argumentative structure is often dropped to make the speech flow faster.
What is the literal translation of سر و صدا, and how does it mean "noise"?
Literally, it translates to "head and voice" or "head and sound" (سر meaning head, صدا meaning voice/sound). Together, they form an everyday compound noun meaning "noise" or "clamor," specifically the kind of chaotic noise you would hear from a construction site, traffic, or a loud crowd.
There are three contracted verbs in this sentence (میگه, خوبه, نمیخواد). What are their formal written equivalents?
In written Farsi, these would be میگوید (he/she says), خوب است (is good), and نمیخواهد (he/she doesn't want). Spoken Farsi heavily shortens these: the present stem گو becomes گ, the stem خواه becomes خوا, and the "to be" verb است attaches to the previous word as an ـه (-e) ending.
Why is the direct object marker رو placed after instead of right after ? Isn't "the noise" what he doesn't want?
