Legal Paperwork and مذکور
Contracts and official documents use formal vocabulary, such as مستاجر (tenant), موجر (landlord), and موظف (obliged).
To refer to a previously mentioned noun, formal Farsi uses the adjective مذکور (the aforementioned / the said). Like any standard adjective, it links to the preceding noun using the ezafe vowel.
| The aforementioned tenant is obliged to pay the deposit. | مستاجر مذکور موظف است ودیعه را پرداخت کند.mosta'jer mazkur movazzaf ast vadi'e râ pardâkht konad. |
| You are obliged to read the aforementioned document before you sign it. | شما موظف هستید قبل از اینکه سند مذکور را امضا کنید، آن را بخوانید.shomâ movazzaf hastid qabl az inke sanad mazkur râ emzâ konid, ân râ bekhânid. |
نامبرده (The Said Person)
When referring back specifically to a person, legal texts use نامبرده (the said person). While مذکور modifies a noun, نامبرده stands alone as a pronoun, replacing the person's name or title.
| Before the landlord cancels the contract, the said person is obliged to pay the damages. | قبل از اینکه موجر قرارداد را لغو کند، نامبرده موظف است خسارت را پرداخت کند.ghabl az inke mojer gharârdâd râ laghv konad, nâm-borde movazzaf ast khesârat râ pardâkht konad. |
| The said person is the main suspect of the aforementioned case. | نامبرده مظنون اصلی پروندهی مذکور است.nâm-borde maznun asli parvande-ye mazkur ast. |
Articles, Notes, and Stipulations
Contracts and laws are structured around a ماده (article or clause) and a تبصره (note or sub-clause). The rules inside them are described using درج شدن (to be stipulated or inserted).
| This issue has been stipulated in the note of the aforementioned article. | این موضوع در تبصرهی مادهی مذکور درج شده است.in mowzu' dar tabsare-ye mâdde-ye mazkur darj shode ast. |
You will also encounter the formal adjective مربوطه (relevant / respective) and the noun خاتمه (termination / end).
| The relevant article is about the termination of the contract. | مادهی مربوطه دربارهی خاتمهی قرارداد است.mâdde-ye marbute darbâre-ye khâteme-ye gharârdâd ast. |
| After the termination of the contract, the tenant must deliver the property to the landlord. | بعد از خاتمهی قرارداد، مستاجر باید ملک را به موجر تحویل دهد.ba'd az khâtame-ye gharârdâd, mostâjer bâyad melk râ be mojer tahvil dahad. |
