Questions & Answers about پرندهشناس پرندهی کمیاب و تیزبین را دوست دارد.
Why isn't there an Ezafe after kamyāb to link it to tiz-bin?
When you have multiple adjectives describing a single noun and you link them with va (and), you only use the Ezafe on the head noun (parandeh-ye). You don't add another Ezafe to the first adjective. If you dropped the va, you would need the Ezafe on the first adjective as well: parandeh-ye kamyāb-e tiz-bin.
Why does rā appear way at the end after tiz-bin instead of right after parandeh?
The direct object marker rā attaches to the end of the entire noun phrase, not just the head noun. Since the adjectives are an essential part of the phrase describing the bird, rā has to wait until the whole description (parandeh-ye kamyāb va tiz-bin) is complete before it can cap it off.
What is the literal breakdown of the compound noun parandeh-shenās?
It combines parandeh (bird) with shenās, which is the present stem of shenākhtan (to know, to recognize). Attaching a present stem to a noun is a very common way to describe someone's profession or expertise in Farsi, much like an '-ologist' in English.
kamyāb and tiz-bin are both compound adjectives. How are they formed?
They actually follow a similar pattern to parandeh-shenās! kamyāb is kam (little or few) plus yāb, the present stem of yāftan (to find), so it literally means 'rarely found'. tiz-bin is tiz (sharp) plus bin, the present stem of didan (to see).
