Questions & Answers about هر چه که آنها بگویند، دستمزد ما به مراتب کمتر است.
How does the phrase be marâteb intensify the adjective here?
The phrase be marâteb translates to by far or considerably. In Farsi, it is placed directly before a comparative adjective to intensify it. In this sentence, it comes right before kamtar (lower or less) to emphasize that the wage is significantly lower, not just a little bit.
Why is the verb beguyand in the subjunctive form?
The phrase har che ke (whatever) introduces a hypothetical or uncertain situation because the speaker does not know exactly what will be said. This uncertainty requires the verb to be in the subjunctive mood, which is why it takes the be- prefix.
Can I drop the word ke after har che?
Yes, ke is optional here. You can just say har che ânhâ beguyand and it perfectly means whatever they say. Adding ke just acts as an extra linking word, much like how we sometimes use or drop that in English.
How is the concept of our wage formed in this sentence?
It uses the Ezafe vowel suffix. The noun dastmozd (wage) is linked to the pronoun mâ (we/us) using a short e sound, creating dastmozd-e mâ. This is the standard way to show possession in Farsi, even though the e is not written in the Persian script.
