Questions & Answers about دانشجو راجع به آن نظریه یک مقاله مینویسد.
Why does raje' be use be instead of the -e (ezafe) ending like the other prepositions in this lesson?
The preposition raje' be is a set phrase meaning 'about' or 'regarding'. Unlike dar moured-e and dar khosus-e, which use the -e sound to connect to the next word, raje' connects using the simple preposition be (to/at). You will never use an ezafe with raje' be.
Is it possible to use dar moured-e instead of raje' be in this sentence?
Yes, you could say dar moured-e aan nazariyeh and the meaning would be exactly the same. Dar moured-e and raje' be are completely interchangeable for saying 'about' a topic. Raje' be is very common in everyday speech, while dar moured-e is heavily used in both speech and formal writing.
Why doesn't the direct object yek maghaleh (an article) take the object marker ra before the verb?
The object marker ra is only used for specific, definite direct objects (like 'the article' or 'that article'). Because the student is writing a general, unspecified article (yek maghaleh), the object is indefinite and does not take ra.
How does the word nazariyeh (theory) relate to other Farsi words?
Nazariyeh comes from the common word nazar, which means 'opinion' or 'view'. Adding the suffix -iyeh turns it into a formal, academic noun. So a nazariyeh is literally a formalized view or 'theory'.
