Questions & Answers about در یک رابطهی سالم، ما به یکدیگر اعتماد میکنیم.
Why is the preposition be used right before yekdigar?
In Farsi, the compound verb e'temād kardan (to trust) requires the preposition be (to). You literally say 'we do trust to each other'. Whenever you use yekdigar (each other) with a verb that needs a specific preposition, that preposition goes directly before it.
Could I use hamdigar instead of yekdigar in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely! Both yekdigar and hamdigar mean 'each other'. Yekdigar sounds slightly more formal or written, which fits nicely with the tone of this sentence. However, hamdigar is perfectly fine and is actually much more common in everyday spoken Farsi.
Why is there an extra ye (ی) at the end of rābete (رابطه)?
That is the ezāfe, which is the grammatical glue that links the noun rābete (relationship) to its adjective sālem (healthy). Because rābete ends in a silent 'heh' (ه), we must add a ye (ی) to smoothly connect the words, making it pronounced as rābete-ye sālem.
How does the verb e'temād mikonim work here?
It is a compound verb made of the noun e'temād (trust) and the verb kardan (to do). Because the sentence is about what 'we' (ma) do habitually, we use the present tense 'we' form of kardan, which is mikonim. So it literally translates to 'we do trust'.
