Questions & Answers about ما آمادهایم، و بودجهی زیرساخت به حومه داده خواهد شد.
How does the future passive work in dâde khâhad shod (will be given)?
It combines the past participle of the main verb (dâde, from dâdan, to give) with the future tense of shodan (to become/be). The future of shodan for a third-person singular subject like 'the budget' is khâhad shod. So, literally, it means 'given will become'.
Is âmâde-im a shortened form of another phrase?
Yes, it is the contracted form of âmâde hastim (we are ready). The 'to be' verb endings frequently attach directly to the previous word in Farsi. Because âmâde ends in a silent 'e', we add an 'alef' before the -im ending in writing (آمادهایم) to keep the pronunciation clear.
Why is there an extra letter at the end of budje (budget) in budje-ye zirsâkht?
That is the Ezâfe connector, which links 'budget' to 'infrastructure'. Because budje ends in a silent 'e' (written with the letter heh), the Ezâfe requires a 'y' sound to smoothly bridge the two words. In writing, this is shown by adding the letter ye (ی).
How does the word zirsâkht translate to 'infrastructure'?
It translates perfectly part-by-part! It is made of zir, which means 'under' or 'below', and sâkht, which means 'structure' or 'building' (from the verb sâkhtan, to build). It is the exact equivalent of the English word.
