Questions & Answers about بیایید کسب و کار خود را سال آینده گسترش دهیم.
Why does the sentence start with biyâyid (you come) but end with dehim (we give)?
This is the standard Farsi formula for making a proposal, similar to saying 'Let us' in English. You use the imperative (command) form of âmadan (to come) — here biyâyid because addressing a group or speaking politely — followed by the main verb in the present subjunctive form. Since 'we' are the ones expanding the business, the main verb is conjugated as dehim (let us expand).
Why do we use khod for 'our' instead of mâ? Could I say kasb o kâr-e mâ râ?
You could use mâ, but using khod (self) is much more natural here. In Farsi, when the possessor ('we' whose business it is) is the same as the subject of the sentence ('we' who will expand it), it is standard to use the reflexive pronoun khod to mean my, your, his, her, or our.
Why does the specific direct object marker râ come after khod rather than directly after the word for business?
The word râ always attaches to the very end of the entire noun phrase that acts as the direct object. The direct object here is 'our business' (kasb o kâr-e khod), so râ must sit at the very end of that entire group of words.
What kind of word is kasb o kâr, and what does it literally mean?
It is a common compound noun meaning business or trade. Literally, kasb means acquisition or earning, and kâr means work or job. They are spoken together and joined by the short conjunction o (and).
The main verb is in the present subjunctive, so why isn't there a be- prefix on gostareš dehim?
gostareš dâdan is a compound verb. In many compound verbs, especially those using dâdan (to give) or kardan (to do), the be- prefix for the subjunctive is frequently dropped because the non-verbal part (gostareš) already makes the verb specific enough without it.
