Questions & Answers about ظالمها جامعه را نابود میکنند.
How does adding the plural marker to the adjective zâlem change its function here?
By attaching the plural suffix -hâ, the adjective zâlem (cruel) turns into a noun referring to a group of people. So zâlem-hâ translates to the cruel ones or cruel people.
Why is the verb nâbud mikonand in the plural form if the English translation just says the cruel?
In English, the cruel acts as a collective noun, but in Farsi, zâlem-hâ explicitly means cruel people. Since the subject refers to multiple humans, the verb must take the third-person plural ending -and, making it mikonand (they do).
Why do we need the word râ after jâme'e?
The word râ marks the specific direct object of a sentence. Here, jâme'e (society) is the direct receiver of the action. Using râ shows that the speaker is talking about a definite society, rather than just society in a vague, general sense.
How is the verb nâbud mikonand constructed?
It is a compound verb combining the word nâbud (destroyed or non-existent) with mikonand, which is the present tense of kardan (to do or to make) for the pronoun they. Literally, it means they make non-existent.
