Questions & Answers about آنها به دلیل جنگ مجبور هستند که به یک کشور دیگر مهاجرت کنند.
Why is the verb mohajerat konand in the subjunctive form here?
It follows the phrase majbur hastand ke (they are forced to). In Farsi, when you express obligation or necessity using majbur budan (to be forced), the second verb describing the action must be in the present subjunctive form.
Usually, the present subjunctive has a be- prefix. Why doesn't mohajerat konand have one?
The verb mohajerat kardan (to immigrate) is a compound verb. When forming the subjunctive for most compound verbs made with kardan, it is very common and structurally natural to drop the be- prefix and just use the conjugated form of kardan (which is konand here for the 'they' form).
How does the phrase be dalil-e translate to 'because of'?
The word dalil means 'reason' or 'proof'. By starting with the preposition be (to/by/for) and adding the connecting ezafe vowel (-e) to the noun, be dalil-e literally means 'for the reason of'. This is a standard and very common way to say 'because of' or 'due to' in Farsi.
Could I move be yek keshvar-e digar (to another country) to the very end of the sentence, after the verb?
In standard written Farsi, no. The verb mohajerat konand needs to sit at the end of its clause. The phrase showing the destination (be yek keshvar-e digar) correctly goes right before the verb. You might hear it tacked on at the very end in casual spoken Farsi as an afterthought, but the order in this sentence is the proper structure.
