Questions & Answers about سیستم ناوبری کشتی خیلی دقیق است.
How could we apply the absolute superlative rule we are studying to this sentence instead of just saying خیلی دقیق?
You can replace خیلی دقیق (very precise) with the superlative دقیقترین. In the absolute use of superlatives, سیستم ناوبری کشتی دقیقترین است doesn't necessarily mean it is the single most precise ship in the world. Instead, it acts as an extreme intensifier, meaning 'The ship's navigation system is of the utmost precision.'
What are the word components that make up ناوبری (navigation)?
It breaks down into ناو (nâv), meaning 'ship' or 'vessel', and the root بر (bar) from the verb بردن (to carry or take). Combined with the noun-forming suffix ی (-i), ناوبری literally refers to the act of handling or directing a vessel, which translates to 'navigation'.
Why is there a hidden 'ye' sound between ناوبری and کشتی when spoken aloud?
Because the word ناوبری ends in the long vowel ی (i), the spoken Ezafe that links it to کشتی (ship) takes the form of a 'ye' sound rather than just a short 'e' sound. You pronounce the chain as 'sistem-e nâvbari-ye kashti', even though that connecting 'y' is not written as a separate letter.
Can the adjective دقیق be used to describe people, or is it only for machines and systems?
Yes, it is very commonly used for people! While it translates to 'precise' or 'accurate' for machines, describing a person as دقیق means they are meticulous, thorough, or detail-oriented.
