Questions & Answers about من میخواهم که به جای حقوق، مزایایی را بپذیری.
Why does مزایایی (mazâyâ-yi) have both the indefinite suffix and the definite object marker را (râ)?
This is how Farsi creates a "specific indefinite" object. By using both the indefinite suffix -i (here, -yi) and the specific object marker را (râ), it translates to "certain benefits". It tells us the speaker has specific benefits in mind, even though they haven't been identified yet, rather than just "some benefits" in general.
Why is it spelled مزایایی with two ی (yeh) letters?
The base word for benefits is مزایا (mazâyâ), which ends in the long vowel â (alef). When adding the indefinite suffix -i, Farsi inserts a linking y sound to prevent the two vowels from clashing, turning it into -yi. In writing, the first ی represents the y consonant, and the second ی is the i vowel.
Why is the verb بپذیری (bepaziri) in the subjunctive form?
The sentence starts with من میخواهم که (man mi-khâham ke), meaning "I want that...". Whenever you express a wish, need, or request for someone else to do something, the following verb must be in the subjunctive mood. Farsi literally phrases this as "I want that you accept", rather than "I want you to accept".
