Questions & Answers about بزرگترین محققان ایرانی این سندهای مهم را ترجمه کرده بودند.
Why does 'researchers' end in -ân (محققان) instead of -hâ?
Because 'researcher' (محقق) is a living person. In formal or written Farsi, animate nouns (people and sometimes animals) take the plural suffix -ân. You would still hear -hâ used for people in casual spoken Farsi, but -ân is the standard for formal writing.
Why doesn't 'documents' (سندهای) also use the -ân ending?
The suffix -ân is strictly for animate nouns (living things). Because a document (سند) is an inanimate object, it cannot use this formal ending and must take the standard plural suffix -hâ.
How do we connect محققان (researchers) to the adjective ایرانی (Iranian)?
You just use a standard ezafe (an 'e' sound). Even though محققان has a special plural ending, it still acts like a normal noun when adding adjectives. It is pronounced 'mohaghegh-ân-e irâni'.
Why does بزرگترین (greatest) come before the noun, while ایرانی (Iranian) comes after?
Superlative adjectives (the 'most' or '-est' forms ending in -tarin) always go before the noun they modify, and they do not need an ezafe. Normal adjectives like ایرانی go after the noun and must be connected with an ezafe.
What tense is ترجمه کرده بودند and how is it built?
It is the past perfect tense, meaning 'had translated'. It is formed with the past participle of the main verb (ترجمه کرده) plus the simple past of 'to be' (بودند, meaning 'they were'). This shows the translation was completely finished before another point in the past.
