Questions & Answers about آیا اطلاعات جدید راجع به حبوبات و شیرینیجات را خواندید؟
Why do اطلاعات and حبوبات end in -ات?
This is the formal plural suffix -ât. Farsi borrowed it from Arabic, and it is used to talk about collective categories. اطلاعات (information) comes from the Arabic root for knowledge, and حبوبات covers the whole category of beans and legumes. Notice that in English, "information" is uncountable, but in Farsi, we treat this category as a plural.
Why is the suffix on شیرینیجات (sweets) spelled with a "j" instead of just -ات?
When a Persian word ends in a vowel, like the "i" sound in شیرینی (shirini), adding -ât directly is awkward to pronounce. Farsi adds a "j" sound to bridge the gap, creating the suffix -jât. This suffix turns a single sweet into the entire category of "sweets" or "pastries".
Why is the object marker را (râ) so far away from the word "information"?
The word را marks the specific direct object of the sentence, but the object here is a long phrase: "the new information regarding legumes and sweets". In Farsi, را always waits until the very end of the entire noun phrase before appearing, right before the verb خواندید.
Do I need an ezafe to connect اطلاعات جدید to راجع به (regarding)?
No, you do not need an ezafe here. راجع به acts as a standalone compound preposition meaning "about" or "regarding". You can just place it right after the noun phrase (new information) to introduce the topic.
