Questions & Answers about با تلفن مدیر تماس بگیرید.
How do we form the command بگیرید in this sentence?
This is the formal or plural command form of the verb گرفتن (to take). The present stem is گیر (gir). To make it a command, we add the imperative prefix بـ (be-) and the formal/plural ending ـید (-id) to get بگیرید (begirid).
Why does the sentence start with با (with)?
In Farsi, the compound verb for "to call" is تماس گرفتن, which literally translates to "to take contact". Because you make contact with something or someone, this verb always pairs with the preposition با (with) instead of a direct object.
Where is the word for "'s" (manager's) in the Farsi sentence?
Possession is shown by the invisible ezafe vowel, which sounds like "e". It links the noun تلفن (phone) to its owner مدیر (manager), pronounced as telefon-e modir. It works exactly like saying "phone of the manager".
Why doesn't the word تماس change when making a command?
تماس گرفتن is a compound verb made of a noun (تماس, meaning "contact") and a helper verb (گرفتن, meaning "to take"). In Farsi compound verbs, you only conjugate the helper verb. So, گرفتن changes into the command بگیرید, while the noun تماس just sits right in front of it unchanged.
