Comments

I already know both "pergar" & "ghotbnema" are one word in English, I was wondering how to translate them if together
 

Answer 1

Well, the same situation and seemingly problem exists in our own language. the well-known example narrated in this situation is the word شیر that has three meanings and the rest is the history... but surprisingly they are never confused with each other! why?! because we usually neglect or forget the role of context in the story!

When comparing them with each other, we just need to refer one typical feature of each.

Let's make an example:

• A drawing compass is more expensive than a guiding compass.

But as we know, such a comparison is scarcely drawn in real life.

 

 

Answer 2

A compass-قطب نما- costs more than compasses-پرگار
