Learn Farsi: ما موقعیت منحصربه‌فردی را برای او ساختیم. - We created a certain unique position for him.

This is exactly what creates the 'specific but unidentified' meaning taught in this lesson! Normally, -i means 'a' or 'an' (indefinite), and râ points to a specific, known object. Using them together tells the listener: 'We created a certain position; we have a specific one in mind, but we are introducing it to you as a new, unidentified piece of information.'

Why is the '-i' attached to the adjective 'monhaser-be-fard' instead of the noun 'mowqe'iyat' (position)?

In Farsi, when a noun is followed by an adjective connected by the ezafe vowel (here, mowqe'iyat-e monhaser-be-fard), the indefinite -i usually attaches to the very end of the whole phrase. That is why it lands on the adjective to make mowqe'iyat-e monhaser-be-fard-i.

The word for 'unique' (monhaser-be-fard) has spaces and looks like a phrase. What is it made of?

It is a compound adjective. It comes from monhaser (exclusive or limited), be (to), and fard (individual or single person). Literally, it translates to 'exclusive to one person,' which is the standard Farsi way to express that something is 'unique.'

Why is sâkhtim translated as 'we created' instead of 'we built' or 'we made'?

The verb sâkhtan (to build or to make) is very versatile. While you use it literally to build a house or make a physical object, it is also the most natural verb to use for abstract concepts like making an opportunity, a position, or a situation.
