Questions & Answers about من امیدوارم که ماهیهای کوچک را دوباره در رودخانه رها کنید.
Why is the subjunctive verb rahâ konid instead of rahâ bekonid?
Rahâ kardan (to release) is a compound verb. When making the present subjunctive for compound verbs that use kardan (to do), the prefix be- is usually dropped. You simply use the present stem kon- with the correct ending, which is -id for the formal/plural 'you'.
Why does râ come after kučak rather than directly after mâhi-hâ?
The specific object marker râ must always go at the very end of a noun phrase. Because the noun mâhi-hâ (fish) is described by the adjective kučak (small), they are linked together into one phrase. Therefore, râ waits until after the adjective.
Why is 'I hope' written as omidvâram?
In Farsi, 'to hope' is typically expressed with the adjective omidvâr (hopeful) paired with the verb budan (to be). So omidvâram literally translates to 'I am hopeful.'
Why is there a -ye sound connecting mâhi-hâ and kučak?
This is the ezafe, which links a noun to its adjective. Because the plural suffix -hâ ends in a vowel, the ezafe becomes -ye instead of just an -e sound. This makes the transition between the words easier to pronounce.
