Questions & Answers about لازم است که تصمیمگیرندهها از رایدهندهها حمایت کنند.
How is the word تصمیمگیرندهها (decision makers) built using the new suffix?
It is a compound word. It starts with تصمیم (decision). Next is گیر (gir), the present stem of the verb گرفتن (to take). We add the agent suffix ـنده (-ande) to this stem to mean 'taker', giving us تصمیمگیرنده (literally 'decision-taker'). Finally, the ها (hā) makes it plural.
Does رایدهندهها (voters) follow the same pattern?
Exactly! It combines رای (vote) with ده (dah), the present stem of دادن (to give). Adding the ـنده (-ande) suffix makes it 'vote-giver', and ها (-hā) makes it plural. Combining a noun with a present stem plus ـنده is a very common way to create occupational or agent nouns in Farsi.
Why is the verb at the end کنند (konand) and not میکنند (mi-konand)?
Because of the phrase لازم است که (it is necessary that) at the beginning of the sentence. This phrase expresses a necessity or recommendation, which requires the verb in the second part of the sentence to be in the subjunctive mood. That is why the continuous prefix می (mi-) is dropped.
Why is there an از (az) before the word for voters? Doesn't that mean 'from'?
Yes, از usually means 'from', but Farsi verbs often pair with specific prepositions that do not translate literally into English. The compound verb حمایت کردن (to support) requires the preposition از before the person or thing being supported. In Farsi, you literally 'do support from' someone.
