Questions & Answers about ماموریت سالانهی آنها ساختن یک شبکهی دوستانه است.
Both sālāne (سالانه) and dustāne (دوستانه) end with -āne. What does this ending do?
The suffix -āne is used to turn nouns into adjectives or adverbs to show frequency or manner. In this sentence, it attaches to sāl (year) to make sālāne (annual), and to dust (friend) to make dustāne (friendly). Both are used here as adjectives describing the mission and the network.
Why is there a -ye attached to sālāne (سالانهی) and shabake (شبکهی)?
This is the Ezafe, the grammatical link connecting nouns to their adjectives or owners. Because sālāne and shabake end with a silent ه (which makes an "e" sound), we add a ی (y) so the Ezafe becomes -ye instead of just -e. This bridges the vowel sounds smoothly.
Why is the dictionary verb form sākhtan (ساختن) used here?
In Farsi, the full infinitive form of a verb (which ends in -tan or -dan) can be used exactly like a noun, similar to "-ing" words (gerunds) in English. Here, sākhtan (to build) acts as the noun "building" to explain the core action of their mission.
The word ānhā (آنها) usually means "they". How do we know it means "their" in this sentence?
Farsi shows possession using the Ezafe link rather than completely separate possessive words. When ānhā is linked to a noun chain via Ezafe—as in ma'muriyat-e sālāne-ye ānhā—it literally translates to "the annual mission of them", which is how Farsi expresses "their annual mission".
