Questions & Answers about ما نمیتوانیم یک پروژهی مشکلدار را قبول کنیم.
How does the word moškel-dār use the possession suffixes from this lesson?
The suffix -dār comes from the present stem of the verb dāštan (to have). By attaching it to the noun moškel (problem), it creates the adjective moškel-dār, which literally means 'having a problem' or 'problematic'.
Why do we use the object marker rā if the project is introduced with yek (a/an)?
Usually, rā is used for definite objects ('the' project). However, using yek and rā together means 'a certain' project, or singles out a specific type of project. Here, it emphasizes that they will not accept any project that happens to fall into this problematic category.
Why is there a -ye sound on prože-ye before the adjective?
This is the Ezafe, which links a noun to its describing adjective. Because prože (project) ends in a silent 'h' (which is pronounced as a short 'e' vowel), we must add the -ye sound to smoothly connect it to the adjective moškel-dār.
Why is the final verb qabul konim (to accept) in the subjunctive mood, and where is the usual be- prefix?
It is in the subjunctive mood because it follows the modal verb nemi-tavānim (we cannot). For compound verbs like qabul kardan, the traditional be- prefix is usually dropped in the subjunctive, so we just use the personal ending -im on the auxiliary part konim.
