Questions & Answers about معروفترین آهنگسازان و مترجمان با پادشاه ملاقات کردند.
Why do آهنگسازان and مترجمان use the -ân plural suffix instead of the standard -hâ?
The suffix -ân is used in formal, written Farsi to make plurals for living things, especially people and professions. While you would use -hâ in everyday conversation (like آهنگسازها), you will often see -ân in news, literature, and formal contexts.
Does the superlative adjective معروفترین (most famous) apply to both composers and translators here?
Yes. Just like in English, the adjective at the beginning modifies the entire compound subject آهنگسازان و مترجمان.
I thought adjectives come after the noun in Farsi. Why is معروفترین at the beginning?
Normally, adjectives do follow the noun and connect with an ezafe (the short e sound). However, superlative adjectives, which end in -tarin (meaning most), are an exception. They always come before the noun they describe and do not use an ezafe.
Why does the sentence use the preposition با (with) before the king?
In English, we say someone met the king, but the Farsi compound verb ملاقات کردن (to meet) requires the preposition با (with). Farsi speakers literally say they had a meeting with the king.
