Questions & Answers about ما به همکاری اعتماد میکنیم که صادق است.
Why does the word hamkār (colleague) have an -i at the end here?
The -i attached to hamkār makes it hamkāri, which acts as the anchor for the relative clause. It signals that we are talking about "a colleague" who will be described right after. Whenever you use ke (who/that) to describe a noun, you usually attach this -i to that noun.
Doesn't hamkāri usually mean "cooperation"?
Yes, hamkāri is a common noun meaning "cooperation". However, in this sentence, it is the noun hamkār (colleague) plus the relative marker -i. You can tell the difference because it is linked by ke to the phrase sādeq ast (is honest), which clearly describes a person rather than an abstract concept.
Why do we use the preposition be before the colleague?
The verb for "to trust" is etemād kardan, and it requires the preposition be (to/in). While in English you "trust someone" directly, in Farsi you literally "do trust to someone".
Why is the relative clause ke sādeq ast placed at the very end, after the main verb?
Relative clauses can either come immediately after the noun they describe or get pushed to the end of the sentence. Moving the ke clause to the end is a very natural choice in Farsi because it keeps the core parts of the main sentence (be hamkāri etemād mikonim) close together.
