Questions & Answers about من دیگر دار قالی قدیمی را نمیخواهم.
Does the adjective qadimi in dâr-e qâli-e qadimi describe the loom or the rug?
It describes the loom. The phrase uses an Ezâfe chain where dâr (loom) is linked to qâli (rug) to form the compound concept rug loom. The adjective qadimi (old) comes at the very end of the chain, so it modifies the entire preceding noun phrase, meaning the loom itself is old.
How does the word digar translate to anymore in this sentence?
On its own or with positive verbs, digar usually means other or another. However, when it acts as an adverb paired with a negative verb like nemixâham (I do not want), its meaning automatically shifts to anymore or any longer.
Why is the object marker râ placed after the adjective instead of immediately after the noun dâr?
The postposition râ must follow the complete noun phrase that serves as the definite direct object. Because dâr-e qâli-e qadimi is bound together into a single unit by the hidden Ezâfe vowels, râ waits until after the final adjective to mark the entire group.
