Questions & Answers about لازم است که پلیس مستندات تحقیقات را بررسی کند.
Both مستندات and تحقیقات end in -ât. What are their singular forms and why use this plural?
They both use the Arabic loanword plural suffix -ât, which is very common for formal, legal, and administrative terms. The singular of مستندات (mostanadât - documentation) is مستند (mostanad), and the singular of تحقیقات (tahghighât - investigations) is تحقیق (tahghigh).
Why does the object marker را appear after تحقیقات instead of right after مستندات?
The direct object of the verb is the entire phrase مستندات تحقیقات (the documentation of the investigations), linked by the invisible ezafe vowel. In Farsi, را must always be placed at the very end of the complete noun phrase, never in the middle.
Why is the verb بررسی کند instead of the normal present tense بررسی می کند?
The sentence starts with لازم است که (it is necessary that). Phrases expressing necessity, doubt, or desire trigger the subjunctive mood in the second part of the sentence. For the compound verb بررسی کردن (to review), the third-person singular subjunctive is بررسی کند.
The English translation says 'the police review', but the Farsi verb کند is singular. Is پلیس always singular in Farsi?
Yes, when referring to the police force as an institution or a collective unit, پلیس is grammatically singular in Farsi. That is why it takes the third-person singular verb کند (konad).
