Questions & Answers about برای موفق شدن، باید یک برنامهی هدفمند داشته باشی.
What is the suffix -mand doing in the word hadafmand?
The suffix -mand turns a noun into an adjective meaning "possessing" or "endowed with" that noun. Here, it attaches to hadaf (goal or purpose). So hadafmand literally means "possessing a goal," which translates to "purposeful" or "goal-oriented."
Why do we use the full infinitive shodan right after barāye movaffaq?
In Farsi, "in order to do something" is often expressed using barāye (for) followed by the full infinitive of the verb. Since "to succeed" is the compound verb movaffaq shodan (literally "successful to become"), "in order to succeed" translates to barāye movaffaq shodan.
Why is the verb at the end dāshte bāshi instead of a simpler present tense like dāri?
The word bāyad (must) forces the following verb into the subjunctive mood. The verb "to have" (dāshtan) has a unique subjunctive form in Farsi: you use its past participle (dāshte) plus the subjunctive forms of "to be" (here, bāshi for "you"). So "you must have" becomes bāyad ... dāshte bāshi.
Why is there a -ye sound added to barnāme in yek barnāme-ye hadafmand?
This is the ezāfe linking the noun barnāme (plan) to its adjective hadafmand. Because barnāme ends in a silent "h" (which functions as a vowel in Farsi), the ezāfe takes the form of -ye instead of just -e to make the transition between the words easier to pronounce.
