Questions & Answers about در این میزگرد، هر پژوهشگر راجع به پژوهش خود حرف میزند.
This lesson is about complex prepositions. Does راجع به (râje' be) need an -e (ezafe) connecting it to پژوهش (pazhuhesh)?
No, it doesn't. Unlike dar moured-e or dar khosus-e which use the ezafe to link to the next noun, râje' be uses the simple preposition be (to). So you just say râje' be pazhuhesh (about research) without adding an extra -e sound.
How is راجع به pronounced in everyday conversation?
In formal Farsi, it is pronounced râje' be, with a slight pause for the letter 'eyn. However, in casual spoken Farsi, people usually blend it together and pronounce it as râjeb-e.
Why does the sentence use خود (khod) for 'their' instead of a pronoun like او (u) or the suffix -اش (-ash)?
khod is a reflexive pronoun meaning 'self' or 'own'. In Farsi, when the possessor is the same as the subject of the sentence (here, every researcher), you should use khod. It emphasizes that they are talking about their own research. If you used pazhuhesh-e u, it would mean they are talking about someone else's research.
میزگرد (mizgerd) translates to 'roundtable'. Is that built exactly like the English word?
Yes! It is a compound noun made of miz (table) and gerd (round). Normally, an adjective follows a noun with an ezafe (), but because this has become an established compound word for a panel discussion, it drops the ezafe and combines into .
