Questions & Answers about قاضی مستندات تحقیقات را نپذیرفت.
Why do both mostanadât and tahghighât end in -ât?
The suffix -ât is a formal plural marker borrowed from Arabic. In Farsi, it is commonly used to pluralize Arabic loanwords, especially abstract nouns and administrative vocabulary like tahghighât (investigations) and mostanadât (documentation).
Can I use the regular Farsi plural -hâ instead of -ât for these words?
Yes, in everyday spoken Farsi, you will often hear people say tahghigh-hâ instead of tahghighât, or mostanad-hâ instead of mostanadât. However, the -ât forms are much more common in formal speech, news, and official contexts like this sentence.
Why does râ come after tahghighât if the judge rejected the documentation (mostanadât)?
The word râ marks the definite direct object of the sentence. Here, the direct object is the entire noun phrase mostanadât-e tahghighât (the documentation of the investigations). The râ always attaches to the very end of the complete noun phrase, not just the head noun.
How do we link mostanadât and tahghighât when reading this sentence out loud?
They are linked by the ezafe vowel. You pronounce it as mostanadât-e tahghighât. Even though both words have the Arabic plural ending, they still follow the standard Farsi rule of using an ezafe to link a noun to its modifier or possessor.
