Questions & Answers about او پیشنهاد ما را رد کرد، چون خیلی بیدقت است.
Why do we need the word را after پیشنهاد ما?
را is the specific direct object marker. Because "our suggestion" (پیشنهاد ما) is a specific, defined thing being rejected (thanks to the possessive pronoun "our"), it requires را to link it to the verb.
Is رد کرد a compound verb? What does رد mean on its own?
Yes, رد کردن is a compound verb meaning "to reject" or "to refuse". On its own, the word رد means "rejection" or "refusal". Combined with کردن (to do/make), it literally translates to "to do a rejection".
How does the prefix in بیدقت (careless) work?
It is formed by adding the prefix بی (meaning "without") to the noun دقت (meaning "care", "precision", or "attention"). This is a very common way to create negative adjectives in Farsi, working exactly like the English suffix "-less".
The first half is in the past tense (رد کرد), but the second half is present (است). Is this mix normal?
Yes, this is completely natural. The specific action of rejecting happened in the past, but the reason for it is a general, ongoing character trait—he is a careless person in general.
How would I apply this lesson's grammar to say: "I wish he hadn't rejected our suggestion"?
