Questions & Answers about مدیر به خاطر این اصلاحات جدید نگران است.
Why does eslâhât end in -ât instead of the usual Persian plural -hâ?
The suffix -ât is an Arabic plural marker used in formal Persian for certain Arabic loanwords, usually abstract nouns or administrative terms. The singular form here is eslâh (correction or reform). While you might occasionally hear the standard Persian plural eslâh-hâ in very casual speech, eslâhât is the standard, natural way to pluralize this word.
Why do we use the singular word in (this) to mean 'these' new corrections?
In Farsi, when demonstrative words like in (this) or ân (that) are placed directly before a noun, they never change to a plural form. Because the noun eslâhât is already plural, in eslâhât automatically translates to 'these corrections.' You only use the plural form inhâ when the word stands completely alone as a pronoun.
How is the adjective jadid (new) connected to the plural noun eslâhât?
They are connected using the ezafe vowel (pronounced as 'e'). You say eslâhât-e jadid. Notice that even though the noun is plural, the adjective jadid remains in its basic singular form. In Farsi, adjectives never take a plural marker just to match the noun.
Is there an ezafe after be khâter (because of)?
Yes! The phrase be khâter acts as a compound preposition meaning 'because of' or 'for the sake of.' To connect it to the noun phrase that follows it, it requires an ezafe. It is pronounced be khâter-e in eslâhât.
