Questions & Answers about بنگاه املاک پرسید که شما قرارداد معامله را کجا امضا کردهاید.
How does the structure of the reported question work in this sentence?
We use the verb porsid (asked) followed by ke (that). Then, we just insert the question as a normal sentence. Notice that the question word kojâ (where) doesn't move to the front of the clause like it does in English. It stays in its usual Farsi position, right before the verb emzâ karde-id.
Why is the verb emzâ karde-id in the present perfect tense instead of shifting to the past perfect?
In Farsi reported speech, we typically keep the exact tense the original speaker used. The real estate agency originally asked, "Where have you signed...?" so we keep the present perfect emzâ karde-id (you have signed). English often shifts tenses backward in reported speech (e.g., to "had signed"), but Farsi usually doesn't.
What is the literal meaning of bongâh-e amlâk?
bongâh means an agency, enterprise, or corporation. amlâk is the plural form of the Arabic loanword melk (property or estate). Connected by the invisible ezâfe vowel (-e), it literally means "agency of properties" — the standard way to say "real estate agency".
Why is the object marker râ placed after mo'âmele instead of right after gharârdâd (contract)?
The word râ always follows the entire specific direct object. Because "the transaction contract" is a single noun phrase linked by ezâfe (gharârdâd-e mo'âmele), the râ has to go at the very end of the whole phrase, not just after the first noun.
