Questions & Answers about این قانون برای نجات داده شدن خرس از انقراض است.
How is the passive infinitive formed in nejat dade shodan?
It is formed by taking the past participle of the active verb and adding the infinitive shodan (to become/be). The active verb here is nejat dadan (to rescue). Its past participle is nejat dade (rescued). Adding shodan gives us nejat dade shodan, which acts as a verbal noun meaning 'being rescued' or 'to be rescued' directly after the preposition baraye (for).
How does the word khers (bear) grammatically connect to nejat dade shodan?
They are connected by the ezafe, which is an invisible 'e' sound. In Farsi, when an infinitive acts as a noun, the noun receiving the action connects to it just like a regular possession. So, nejat dade shodan-e khers structurally translates to 'the being rescued of the bear'.
Why does the Farsi sentence use an infinitive instead of a subjunctive verb after baraye?
You can definitely use a subjunctive! You could say ... baraye inke khers nejat dade shaved (for this reason that the bear be rescued). However, using the passive infinitive as a verbal noun makes the sentence slightly more formal and concise, which perfectly matches the context of talking about a formal law (ghanoon).
Nejat dadan is a compound verb. Do all compound verbs form the passive this way?
Yes! When making a compound verb passive, you leave the non-verb part (nejat) exactly as it is. You only apply the passive rule to the verb part. So dadan (to give) turns into its past participle dade and we add shodan.
