Questions & Answers about مدیرعامل با سهام‌دارها مذاکره می‌کند.

How is the word sahām-dārhā (shareholders) built?
It is made of three parts: sahām (shares), dār (the present stem of dāshtan, meaning 'holder' or 'keeper'), and the plural suffix -hā. Interestingly, sahām is already an Arabic broken plural of sahm (share), but Persian speakers treat the compound sahām-dār as a single base word and make it plural by adding -hā at the end.
Is there a hidden 'ezafe' (the 'e' connecting words) in modir'āmel (CEO)?
Historically, it was modir-e āmel (literally 'executive manager'), using the ezafe to link the noun and adjective. Over time, it became so commonly used that it is now treated as a single compound noun. You will often see it written as one word or with a half-space, and the ezafe is frequently dropped in casual modern pronunciation.
Does the verb mozākereh mikonad (negotiates) always take the preposition (with)?
Yes, when mentioning the other party! The compound verb is mozākereh kardan (literally 'to do negotiation'). Just like in English, if you want to state who is being negotiated with, you use the preposition (with) right before that person or group.
Since sahām-dārhā (shareholders) are specific people here, why isn't the direct object marker used?
Because sahām-dārhā is not the direct object of the verb. It is the object of the preposition (with). The word is only used for specific direct objects, never for a noun that comes directly after a preposition like , az, or be.
