Questions & Answers about سرمایهگذار برای اینکه سه چهارم شرکت را بخرد، مذاکره میکند.
How does the fraction سه چهارم (three fourths) connect to the word for company?
Just like regular adjectives or possessive nouns, fractions connect to the noun they modify using the ezāfe vowel (-e). So you say سه چهارم شرکت (se chahārom-e sherkat), meaning three fourths of the company.
Why is the verb بخرد (buy) in the subjunctive form here?
The phrase برای اینکه (barāye in-ke), meaning in order to or so that, always requires the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood. The investor is negotiating for an action that hasn't happened yet (buying the company), which is why we see the بـ prefix on بخرد (be-kharad).
Why do we need the object marker را after the word for company?
The entire phrase سه چهارم شرکت (three fourths of the company) is the direct object of the verb بخرد (to buy). Because it refers to a specific, known company's shares, it is a definite direct object and requires را (rā) right after the whole noun phrase.
How is the word سرمایهگذار (investor) formed?
It is a compound word made of سرمایه (sarmāye, meaning capital or funds) and گذار (gozār), which is the present stem of گذاشتن (to put or place). So an investor is literally someone who places capital.
