Questions & Answers about شاید برابری شادی بیاورد.
How are the words barâbari (equality) and shâdi (happiness) formed here?
Both are abstract nouns made by adding the suffix -i to an adjective. Barâbar means "equal," so barâbari is "equality." Similarly, shâd means "happy," so shâdi is "happiness." This stressed -i is a very common way to turn adjectives into nouns in Farsi.
Why does the verb biyâvarad start with "bi-" instead of the usual "mi-"?
Because the sentence starts with shâyad (perhaps). Words expressing doubt or possibility require the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood. So, instead of the normal present tense miyâvarad (brings), we replace the mi- prefix with the subjunctive bi- to get biyâvarad.
Since shâdi (happiness) is the direct object being brought, why isn't it followed by râ (را)?
We only use the object marker râ for definite direct objects (like "the happiness" or "my happiness"). In this sentence, "happiness" is being talked about as a general, abstract concept, not a specific thing, so it does not take râ.
