Questions & Answers about برای اینکه استارتاپ سرمایه بگیرد، دو پنجم سهام را به سرمایهگذارها دادیم.
How is the fraction "two fifths" formed here?
In Farsi, fractions are built using a cardinal number followed by an ordinal number ending in '-om'. Here, do means "two" and panjom means "fifth". So, do panjom gives us "two fifths". Notice that Farsi doesn't make the ordinal plural like English does (it's just panjom, not panjom-hā).
How does "two fifths" connect to "the shares" (sahām) in this sentence?
It uses the Ezafe. You say do panjom-e sahām. The hidden "-e" links the fraction to the noun, acting just like the word "of" in the English phrase "two fifths of the shares".
Why is the object marker rā placed after the word sahām?
The direct object of the verb dādim (we gave) is the entire phrase "two fifths of the shares" (do panjom-e sahām). Because rā must come at the very end of a specific direct object phrase, it goes after sahām rather than right after the fraction.
Why is the verb begirad in the subjunctive mood?
It is triggered by the conjunction barāye inke (for, in order to). When you use this phrase to show a goal or purpose, the action hasn't happened yet, so the following verb must take the subjunctive prefix be-.
What are the parts of the word sarmāyegozārhā (investors)?
It's a compound word. sarmāye means "capital" and gozār is the present stem of gozāshtan (to put or place). So a sarmāyegozār is literally a "capital-placer" (an investor). The -hā at the end simply makes it plural.
