Questions & Answers about در جنگل، صدای پرندگان خوشآواز و کوچنده را شنیدیم.
Why isn't there an Ezafe after خوشآواز?
When multiple adjectives describe the same noun, you link them with و (and). The Ezafe connects the head noun (پرندگان) to the first adjective (خوشآواز), but you do not add another Ezafe to خوشآواز before the و. The و takes over the job of connecting the modifiers in this parallel structure.
Why is را placed way after کوچنده instead of right after the main object صدای?
The particle را marks the definite direct object of the verb. Here, the entire phrase صدای پرندگان خوشآواز و کوچنده (the sound of the melodious and migratory birds) acts as a single chunk or noun phrase. را always attaches to the very end of the complete phrase, after all the Ezafe modifiers.
How is the adjective کوچنده formed?
It is formed by adding the suffix نده to the present stem of the verb کوچیدن (to migrate). This suffix creates an active participle, meaning a doer of the action, so کوچنده translates to migratory or migrating.
Is خوشآواز a single word, and how is it constructed?
Yes, it is a compound adjective made of خوش (good or pleasant) and آواز (song or voice). Farsi frequently builds descriptive adjectives this way by combining an adjective and a noun. Here it literally means pleasant-voiced or melodious.
