### In Accordance With (در راستای)

In Farsi, you can build complex prepositions by combining a simple preposition like **در** (in) with a noun. To express "in accordance with" or "along the lines of," use **در راستای**. 

Because it ends in a vowel, it connects to the following noun using the *ezafe*, written here with a **ی**.

### In Pursuit Of (در پی)

Another useful relational preposition is **در پی**, meaning "in pursuit of," "seeking," or "following." It functions the same way, using the invisible *ezafe* vowel to link to the goal being pursued.

### Continuous Movement and Unceasing Pursuit

These complex prepositions often pair with words like **پیوسته** (continuous) or **بی‌وقفه** (non-stop) to describe relentless action.
