Questions & Answers about همهمان با این ایده موافق هستیم.
How does همهمان translate to "all of us"?
The word همه means "all". To say "all of us", Farsi attaches the first-person plural possessive ending -mān (which usually means "our") directly to it. It is literally like saying "our all". If you wanted to say "all of you", you would use همهتان, and for "all of them", it is همهشان.
Why is there a slight gap between همه and مان instead of the letters connecting?
The word همه ends in a "silent h" (the letter ه) that makes an "e" sound. When you attach an ending to a word ending in this letter, you do not connect them. A "half-space" is used so the ه keeps its final written form, making همهمان correct and easy to read.
Why does the sentence end with هستیم (we are) instead of a specific verb for "agree"?
In Farsi, "to agree" is typically expressed using a compound verb: موافق بودن (literally "to be in agreement"). Here, موافق is an adjective meaning "in agreement", and هستیم is "we are". Together, they translate to "we agree".
Does the phrase for agreeing always use the preposition با (with)?
Yes, just like in English, you agree with something or someone. The structure is با followed by the thing you agree with, and then the verb phrase. In this sentence, it is با این ایده (with this idea) placed right before موافق هستیم.
