Questions & Answers about برنامهام هدفمند است، بنابراین آن را تغییر نمیدهم.
How does the suffix -mand change the meaning of hadaf in hadafmand?
The suffix -mand means "possessing" or "having." When attached to the noun hadaf (goal or purpose), it creates the adjective hadafmand, which literally means "having a goal" or "purposeful."
Why is there an alef (ا) added to barnameh (برنامه) in the word barnameh-am (برنامهام)?
The word barnameh (plan) ends in a silent heh (ه) which sounds like a short "e". When you add the possessive ending -am (my), Farsi requires an alef (ا) to separate the vowels in writing. So, it is written as barnameh-am (برنامهام) rather than just attaching a meem.
Why does the Farsi sentence use nemîdaham (I do not give) to mean "I do not change"?
In Farsi, the concept of changing something is expressed with the compound verb taghyir dâdan, which literally translates to "to give change." To say "I do not change it," you conjugate the "give" part, resulting in taghyir nemîdaham.
Why do we need the word râ (را) after ân (آن)?
The word râ is the direct object marker. Because ân (it/that) refers to a specific thing (your plan) that is receiving the action of the verb, it must be followed by râ to show it is the direct object of the sentence.
