Please remind me – in question 14, why is there no ra after lamp-e-bozorg?

I think it’s because the verb, to touch “something”, beh…dast zadan, has the preposition beh. It is my understanding that verbs with prepositions do not take ra.

Salam Hassan,
One small detail is confusing me in this exercise: In the tenth sentence, why did you write گل زیبایی and not گل زیبا ای? I’m only confused because, based on what I understood, زیبای is a noun meaning “beauty,” and not an adjective. Is there some point I’m missing here here?
Motaeshaekeram,
Elie

Do you explain somewhere, why you use shaekaestan instead of karab kardan in number 9? In which instances should we use either one? I cannot find the lesson where shaekaestan was introduced.

I can try.
Shekastan is to break while kharab kardan is to damage/destroy

I forgot to add that you cannot break a computer but you rather destroy it. Contextually you can “imagine” it in that way.
Do not be too technical about hit your head about it

why at sentence number 6 you answer ” dictionary bozorgi ” ?
whenever, it is ” buldozer bozorg ” vith no y sound at the end!
why yhis y sound?

because in number 6 you have “a” big dictionary so you have to use “yek” before dictionary or add “i” to the end of bozorg to translate the “a” but in number 7 you have “that” big bulldozer not “a” big bulldozer so you don’t need to use “yek” or “i”.you just have to say “aan” for “that”.
