Questions & Answers about امروز گزارش را به مدیر بدهید.
How do we get the command بدهید from the verb 'to give'?
The infinitive for 'to give' is دادن (dâdan), and its present stem is ده (deh). To make a formal or plural command, we add the prefix بـ (be-) and the ending ـید (-id) to the present stem. This gives us بدهید (bedehid).
Are we telling multiple people to give the report, or just one person?
It could be either! The ending ـید (-id) is used when speaking to a group of people (plural 'you'), but it is also used to speak politely and formally to a single person.
Why do we need the word را after گزارش?
را (râ) is used to mark a specific direct object. Because we are saying 'give THE report' rather than 'give A report', we must put را directly after the word for report, which is گزارش (gozâresh).
Why is the command بدهید at the exact end of the sentence?
Farsi generally places verbs at the very end of the sentence. Even in commands like this one, the action word goes last, after the time (امروز), the object (گزارش را), and the destination (به مدیر).
