Questions & Answers about سهم او از درآمد هتل پنجاه درصد است.
How does the word for "percent" work here?
The word for percent is darsad. It is made of two parts: dar (in) and sad (hundred). Just like in English, the number comes before the word, so panjâh darsad literally means "fifty in a hundred" (fifty percent).
Why does the sentence use az (from) instead of an ezâfe to say "share of"?
When talking about a fraction, percentage, or portion taken out of a whole, Farsi often uses az (from/out of). While English says "share of the income", in Farsi you say "his share out of the hotel's income" (sahm-e u az darâmad).
Where does the word darâmad (income) come from?
darâmad is a great example of Farsi word building. It is made from dar (in) and âmad (the past stem of "to come"). So, income is literally the money that "came in".
How do we show that the share belongs to "him" in sahm u?
You must use the ezâfe vowel (an "e" sound) to connect the words, pronouncing it sahm-e u. This links the noun sahm (share) to the pronoun u (he/she) to show possession, meaning "his share" or "her share".
