Questions & Answers about نمایشگاه همینجا است.
How exactly does hamin work with jâ to mean "right here"?
In this lesson, you are learning that hamin means "this very" or "exactly this". Since jâ means "place", combining them into hamin-jâ literally means "this very place". In English, we naturally translate this emphatic phrase as "right here".
If I wanted to say "right there" instead of "right here", how would I change this sentence?
You would swap hamin for its distant counterpart hamân (that very). "Right there" or "that exact place" translates to hamân-jâ, making the sentence namâyeshgâh hamân-jâ ast.
What does the -gâh ending on namâyeshgâh do?
The suffix -gâh denotes a location or "place of". Here, it attaches to namâyesh (display or show) to create namâyeshgâh (a place of display, which means an exhibition, fair, or gallery).
How would a native speaker pronounce this sentence in casual conversation?
In spoken Farsi, the verb ast (is) usually drops its "a" and attaches to the previous word. Because hamin-jâ ends in a vowel, it merges to become hamin-jâst. In everyday speech, you will hear: namâyeshgâh hamin-jâst.
