Questions & Answers about شما باید گزارش را مستقیماً برای بازرس بفرستید.
What is the ـاً symbol at the end of مستقیماً (mostaqiman) and what does it do?
The root word is مستقیم (mostaqim), meaning "direct". The suffix ـاً (pronounced "-an") is borrowed from Arabic. In Farsi, adding this "-an" suffix to certain adjectives turns them into adverbs of manner, effectively changing "direct" to "directly". The double-dash symbol itself is called a "tanvin".
Why is there an extra letter "alef" (ا) added to مستقیماً?
When you add the Arabic "-an" suffix to a word that ends in a consonant like مستقیم, Farsi spelling rules require adding an "alef" (ا) to act as a placeholder for the "tanvin" symbol. So, مستقیم (mostaqim) + اً becomes مستقیماً (mostaqiman).
Why is the verb بفرستید (befrestid) in the subjunctive mood?
The verb is in the subjunctive mood because it is part of an obligation triggered by the word باید (bayad - must). In Farsi, main verbs following modal verbs like "must", "can", or "want to" take the subjunctive form, which is typically marked by the prefix بـ (be-).
Why is را (ra) used after گزارش (gozaresh)?
The word را (ra) is the definite direct object marker. Because the sentence refers to a specific report ("the report" rather than just "a report"), it is a definite direct object and must be followed by را.
The English translation says "to the inspector", so why does the Farsi use برای (baraye - for) instead of به (be - to)?
When using the verb فرستادن (to send), Farsi speakers very often use برای to indicate who the item is intended for. While you can technically use به (to) here, using برای (for) is extremely natural and common when sending documents, messages, or packages to a person.
