Questions & Answers about بذار برای آخر هفته برنامهریزی کنم.
Where does the word بذار come from?
بذار is the colloquial, spoken form of بگذار, which is the imperative (command) form of گذاشتن (to put / to let). In informal spoken Farsi, the گ sound is dropped, making it much easier to say!
Why do we use کنم instead of میکنم at the end of the sentence?
The verb بذار (let / allow) acts as a trigger for the subjunctive mood, which is used for wishes, intentions, and secondary verbs. In Farsi, you are literally saying "Let [that] I plan." So, the indicative میکنم (I am planning) changes to the subjunctive کنم.
If it is in the subjunctive mood, shouldn't it be بکنم with a "بـ" prefix?
Technically, yes, the subjunctive of کردن is بکنم. However, with compound verbs like برنامهریزی کردن (to plan), the بـ prefix is almost always dropped. Saying برنامهریزی بکنم isn't wrong, but برنامهریزی کنم is far more natural and common.
I know برنامه means "plan" or "program". What does the ریزی part of برنامهریزی mean?
It comes from the verb ریختن (to pour). In Farsi, the concept of making a plan is often expressed idiomatically as "pouring a plan" (برنامه ریختن). The noun suffix ریزی attaches to برنامه to create the compound noun برنامهریزی (the act of planning).
