Questions & Answers about امیدوارم که از این رایحهی ملایم خوشت بیاید.
How does the phrase for you like work in this sentence?
In Farsi, liking something is often expressed with the impersonal verb structure az [noun] khosh âmadan. The person who likes the noun is shown by a pronoun ending attached to khosh. Here, the ending -et means you (singular), making khoshet mean you like.
Why is the verb biyâyad instead of the usual mi-âyad?
Because it follows omidvâram ke (I hope that). Verbs that express hopes, wishes, or desires require the second verb in the sentence to be in the subjunctive mood. The regular prefix mi- changes to the subjunctive prefix bi-, making it biyâyad.
Why is there an extra letter ye (ی) attached to the end of râyehe (رایحه)?
This is the ezâfe connecting the noun râyehe (scent) to its describing adjective molâyem (mild). Because râyehe ends in a silent h (ه), the ezâfe must be written out with the letter ye (ی) to bridge the vowel sounds smoothly.
Does the word az (از) translate to from in this sentence?
Literally, yes. The phrase az [noun] khoshet biyâyad translates word-for-word as may good come to you from [noun]. The word az is simply a required preposition for this specific verb structure, even though we do not use the word from in the natural English translation.
