Questions & Answers about او معلول است و ما برایش ماشینی خریدیم تا راحت باشد.
How does the word barâyash (for him) combine the preposition and the pronoun in this sentence?
It combines the preposition barâye (for) and the third-person singular pronoun suffix -ash (him). Because barâye ends in a vowel sound, a -y- glide is inserted to connect them smoothly without two vowels clashing. This creates barâ-y-ash (برایش).
Is there a difference in meaning between using the attached barâyash and the separate words barâye u?
No, the meaning is exactly the same. Attaching the pronoun suffix as a clitic (barâyash) is very common and helps the sentence flow more naturally, especially in conversation, but you could absolutely say barâye u mâšini xaridim instead.
What is the function of the -i attached to the end of mâšini?
Here, the -i suffix is the indefinite marker, translating to 'a' or 'an'. It shows that they bought 'a car' rather than a specific known car. Without it, mâšin would sound like a general category or a specific car, depending on context.
Why does the sentence use the verb bâšad instead of ast at the end?
The word tâ here means 'so that' or 'in order to'. Because it introduces a purpose or a desired future outcome, it requires the verb that follows it to be in the subjunctive mood. bâšad is the present subjunctive form of 'to be' for 'he/she/it'.
