Questions & Answers about مدیر مستندات را فرستاد تا مذاکرات را شروع کنیم.
Why is "documentation" translated as mostanadât with an -ât plural ending?
Mostanadât is the formal plural of mostanad (document or record), created by adding the Arabic plural suffix -ât. While it literally means "documents", it is commonly used as a collective noun in administrative contexts, which translates perfectly to the English uncountable noun "documentation".
The singular for "negotiation" is mozâkere. What happens to its ending when it becomes mozâkerât?
When an Arabic loanword ends in the short "e" sound (written with a silent letter "heh" at the end, like mozâkere), that silent letter must be dropped before attaching the -ât suffix. Therefore, mozâkere simply becomes mozâkerât.
Why do we use the subjunctive verb shoru' konim (we start) instead of the present indicative?
The conjunction tâ is used here to mean "so that" or "in order to", showing the purpose behind sending the documents. Whenever tâ expresses a goal or intention, the verb that follows it must be in the subjunctive mood.
We see the specific object marker râ used twice in this sentence. Is this normal?
