What is the difference between yekdigar and hamdigar in this sentence?
Both mean "each other". yekdigar is slightly more formal, while hamdigar is standard for everyday conversation. The speaker uses both here to avoid repeating the same word, but in casual spoken Farsi, you would usually just use hamdigar twice.
How does the sentence show "each other's" opinion? Is there a possessive form of the pronoun?
There is no special possessive form. You just use the ezafe vowel to link the noun to the pronoun, exactly like you would with any other noun. The word nazar (opinion) connects to yekdigar to make nazar-e yekdigar (opinion of each other).
Why are the words be (to) and az (from) used before the objects?
Because of the compound verbs! In English we just say "respect someone" or "support someone", but Farsi compound verbs often need a specific preposition. "To respect" is be ... ehteram gozashtan (literally to put respect to), and "to support" is az ... hemayat kardan (literally to do support from).
How are the compound verbs conjugated for "we" in this sentence?
The infinitives are ehteram gozashtan (to respect) and hemayat kardan (to support). Because they are compound verbs, the noun parts (ehteram and hemayat) stay unchanged, while the helper verbs take the present tense prefix and the -im ending for (we), becoming and .
