Questions & Answers about مهربانی تو برای خانوادهی ما شادی میآورد.
How do we form the abstract nouns for kindness and happiness in this sentence?
You form these abstract nouns by adding the suffix -i to adjectives. The adjective mehrabân (kind) becomes mehrabâni (kindness), and shâd (happy) becomes shâdi (happiness).
How is the Ezafe pronounced between mehrabâni and to?
Because mehrabâni ends in the long vowel sound i, you must add a ye sound to link it to the next word. It is pronounced mehrabâni-ye to (your kindness).
Why does the sentence use barâ-ye instead of be for to our family?
While you could grammatically use be (to), barâ-ye (for) is highly natural in Farsi when an action benefits someone else. The sentence literally translates as brings happiness for our family.
What is the root of the verb mi-âvarad?
The infinitive is âvardan (to bring). The present stem is âvar, so we add the present prefix mi- and the third-person singular ending -ad to get mi-âvarad.
