Questions & Answers about او دربارهی این فرضیه نظر نداد.
The lesson focuses on dar moured-e and râje' be. How does dar bâre-ye fit in here?
dar bâre-ye is a very common synonym for those complex prepositions and means about or regarding. You can use dar bâre-ye, dar moured-e, and râje' be interchangeably in most everyday situations.
Why is there an extra letter ی at the end of درباره?
That is the ezâfe linking the preposition to its object. Because the word درباره ends in a silent h (which acts as a vowel sound), we must add the letter ی (ye) to pronounce and write the ezâfe correctly.
How does the compound verb نظر نداد translate to did not comment?
It literally means did not give an opinion. The noun نظر means opinion or view, and نداد is the negative past tense of the verb دادن (to give). In Farsi, giving an opinion is the standard way to express commenting.
Could I put the prepositional phrase at the end, like او نظر نداد دربارهی این فرضیه?
No, that would sound unnatural. In Farsi, the verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. The prepositional phrase دربارهی این فرضیه naturally sits right before the compound verb نظر نداد.
