Questions & Answers about نویسندگان و سیاستمداران برجسته، انسانهای تاثیرگذاری هستند.
Why does nevisandegân (writers) end in -gân instead of just -ân?
The singular word for writer is nevisande, which ends in a mute 'e'. When adding the formal animate plural suffix -ân to a word ending in this sound, a g is inserted to make it easier to pronounce, creating the suffix -gân.
How is the plural formed for siyâsatmadârân (politicians)?
The singular is siyâsatmadâr. Because it refers to people and ends in a consonant, it simply takes the standard formal animate plural suffix -ân without any extra letters.
Since this lesson is about -ân, why is ensân (human) pluralized with -hâ as ensân-hâ?
While ensân can technically take the animate plural to become ensânân, the standard plural -hâ is universally accepted for both animate and inanimate nouns. In modern Farsi, ensân-hâ is extremely common even in formal writing, so it is perfectly natural to see it alongside words using -ân.
Why is there an -i suffix at the end of ta'sir-gozâri (influential)?
This is the indefinite suffix meaning 'a', 'an', or 'some'. In Farsi, when a noun is modified by an adjective, the indefinite -i attaches to the very end of the whole phrase. Instead of attaching directly to ensân-hâ, it hops to the end of the adjective to make ensân-hâ-ye ta'sir-gozâri (some influential people).
Where is the ezâfe connecting the adjective barjeste (prominent) to the subjects?
It is attached only to the second noun, siyâsatmadârân. When you have a list of nouns sharing an adjective connected by 'and' (va), the ezâfe is only placed on the noun immediately before the adjective.
