Questions & Answers about شما باید حضوراً با سرمایهگذار مذاکره کنید.
How does the word حضوراً work, and what is that symbol at the end?
حضوراً (hozuran) means "in person." It is formed by taking the Arabic loanword حضور (hozur, meaning "presence") and adding the Arabic suffix ـاً (-an). In Farsi, this suffix is used to turn certain nouns or adjectives into adverbs of manner. The symbol on top of the alef is called a tanvin, which tells you to pronounce the ending as "-an".
In modern Farsi, is there a more common alternative to using the ـاً suffix for this word?
Yes! In spoken and informal Farsi, people very often replace the Arabic ـاً adverb ending with the Farsi suffix ـی (-i). Saying حضوری (hozuri) works perfectly here to mean "in person" and will sound much more natural in casual, everyday conversation.
What is the literal breakdown of the word سرمایهگذار (investor)?
It is a compound noun made of سرمایه (sarmāye, meaning "capital" or "wealth") and گذار (gozār). گذار is the present stem of the verb گذاشتن (gozāshtan, meaning "to put" or "to place"). So an investor is literally a "capital-placer."
Why is the verb مذاکره کنید in the subjunctive form rather than the standard present tense?
The sentence uses the modal verb باید (bāyad, meaning "must" or "should"). In Farsi, the main verb that follows باید must always be in the present subjunctive form. Because مذاکره کردن (mozākere kardan) is a compound verb, only the helper verb کردن takes the subjunctive form کنید to match the subject شما (you).
