LESSON 33 Afghan Furniture Vocabulary: Related to basic furniture, common materials, shapes, characteristics Grammar: Comparison of unequal and of equal entities; review of adjectives derived from nouns Functions: Provide rationales (good reasons) for your preferences. Skills: Visualize shapes, sizes and why things (don t) fit. Situation: A husband and wife discuss which furniture item is more suitable for their home, given their likes and dislikes, budget and space constraints. Comparison of unequal entities Grammar Notes In Lesson 8, we discussed comparative adjectives in Dari and how they are constructed. In this lesson, we introduce the comparison of two entities that are unequal. Look at an English example first: The oval table is more beautiful than the rectangular table (one). In Dari, the same statement can be said in three different ways: ميزبيضوی نسبت به ميزمستطيلی مقبولتراست. ميزبيضوی ازميزمستطيلی مقبولتراست. ميز بيضوی مقبولترازميزمستطيلی است. As you see, the Dari counterparts of than are نسبت به relative to and از from. These two conjunctions can be used interchangeably, but their position within the sentence varies. Compare the following formulas and examples: Item 1 + نسبت به + Item 2 + Comparative adjective Item 1 از+ + Item 2 + Comparative adjective Item 1 + Comparative adjective + از + Item 2 کوچ های چرمی نسبت به کوچ های تکه یی قيمت تراست. سيت های نانخوری فلزی ارزانترازسيت های چوبی است. Leather sofas are more expensive than sofas made of fabric. Metal dining sets are cheaper than wooden sets. 1

Lesson 33 Comparison of equal entities English uses the structure as as to compare two entities that are equal or share the same quality. For example, The black sofa is as beautiful as the beige one. To express the same concept in Dari, you can choose from two different structures, both of which involve the word اندازه size / amount / extent. Let s take the English example and convert it to Dari: کوچ سياه به اندازه کوچ کریمی مقبول است. کوچ سياه وکوچ کریمی هردو به یک اندازه مقبول استند. The black sofa is as beautiful as the beige one. (Lit., The black sofa is beautiful to the size of the beige one. ) The black sofa is as beautiful as the beige one. (Lit., The black sofa and the beige sofa both are beautiful to one size. ) Which of the two structures was used in the following example, the first or the second? ا نها یک ميزنانخوری کوچکتر را که به اندازه ميزاولی مقبول است ميخرند. They buy a smaller dining table which is as beautiful as the first one. Transition to conversational Dari When conversing, Dari speakers will add another word to the comparison with از than. The added word is the conversational form of کرده (past participle of the verb کردن to do. ) It comes immediately after the inferior entity: ای چوکی ازاوچوکی کده ا رامتراس. پشتيهای کلان ازپشتيهای خورد کده قيمتتراس. درس امروزازدرس دیروزکده ا سانتراس. مقبول اس ولی ازکوچ تکه یی کده قيمتتراس. This chair is more comfortable than that one. Big cushions are more expensive than small ones. Today s lesson is easier than yesterday s (lesson). It is beautiful, but more expensive than the sofa made of fabric. The addition of کده is just for emphasis and does not change the overall meaning of the sentence. 2

Review of adjectives derived from nouns As discussed in Lesson 9, some nouns can be converted to adjectives by adding the syllable /ee/ at the end, written as ی [yaa]: Noun Adjective چوب wood چوبی wooden چرم leather چرمی leather made of فلز metal فلزی metal made of سنگ stone سنگی stone made of یی [hey], the syllable /ee/ is represented by ه [wau] and و With nouns ending in the letters (two ی [yaa]s): Noun Adjective شيشه glass شيشه یی glass made of تکه fabric تکه یی fabric made of 3
