In Farsi, creating the passive form of a compound verb ending in دادن (to give) is highly systematic: simply replace the active infinitive دادن with داده شدن.
This structure is very common in formal news, official reports, and public announcements where the focus is on the action rather than who performed it.
| to allocate | اختصاص دادنekhtesâs dâdan |
| to remind / to warn | تذکر دادنtazakkor dâdan |
Forming the Passive in Context
In a sentence, the non-verbal part of the compound and the past participle داده remain fixed. Only the auxiliary verb شدن is conjugated to match the tense and subject.
For example, in the simple past tense, شدن conjugates as شد (it was) or شدند (they were).
| During the press conference, the reasons were explained to the press. | در طول نشست خبری، دلایل به مطبوعات توضیح داده شد.dar tul-e neshast-e khabari, dalâyel be matbu'ât towzih dâde shod. |
| Via this organization, the needy were given shelter and trained. | از طریق این سازمان، به نیازمندان پناه داده شد و آموزش داده شدند.az tarigh in sâzmân, be niyâzmandân panâh dâde shod va âmuzesh dâde shodand. |
Passive in Other Tenses
You can easily shift these passive verbs into other tenses or moods just by changing the conjugation of شدن.
Notice how the present indicative میشود is used for ongoing or immediate future actions, while the subjunctive شود is triggered by conditionals like "if" (اگر).
| The news agency announced that the budget will be allocated immediately. | خبرگزاری اعلام کرد که بودجه فوراً اختصاص داده میشود.khabargozâri e'lâm kard ke budje fowran ekhtesâs dâde mishavad. |
| If the disease is diagnosed, the patient is immediately referred to the hospital. | اگر بیماری تشخیص داده شود، بیمار فوراً به بیمارستان ارجاع داده میشود.agar bimâri tashkhis dâde shavad, bimâr fowran be bimârestân erjâ dâde mishavad. |
