Questions & Answers about بیایید همه‌ی گزینه‌ها را خوب بسنجیم.

Why does biyâyid ("you come") pair with besanjim ("we evaluate") to mean "let's"?

To make a "let's" proposal in Farsi, you use the imperative of "to come" (âmadan) followed by the main verb in the present subjunctive. Even though the main verb is "we" (besanjim), the first verb acts as a command to the listeners: "You (plural/formal) come, so that we evaluate." If speaking informally to one person, you would use the singular biyâ instead.

Why does the specific direct object marker râ come after gozine-hâ instead of right after hame ("all")?

The word hame connects to the noun it modifies using the ezâfe vowel, forming the single noun phrase hame-ye gozine-hâ ("all of the options"). The object marker râ must always be placed at the very end of the entire noun phrase it marks, never in the middle of it.

What is the infinitive of besanjim, and how is it formed?

The verb is sanjidan, which means to weigh, measure, or evaluate. Its present stem is sanj. Because this is a "let's" proposal, it needs the present subjunctive form. We build this with the subjunctive prefix be-, the stem sanj, and the first-person plural ending -im, resulting in besanjim.

The word khub usually means "good." Is it acting as an adverb ("well") here?

Yes! In Farsi, most adjectives can be used directly as adverbs without adding any special suffixes. Here, modifies the verb , so it naturally translates to "well" or "carefully" rather than "good.".
