Questions & Answers about آیا آنها قوانین اداری را رسماً از طریق یک پیامرسان ابلاغ کردند؟
How is the preposition az tariq-e used in this sentence, and could I just use bâ (with) instead?
az tariq-e means "via", "through", or "by way of". It is a formal compound preposition used to indicate the medium or channel through which something happens. You could technically use bâ (with) or be vasileh-ye (by means of), but az tariq-e fits perfectly with the highly formal tone of this sentence, especially alongside official words like eblâq kardan (to officially communicate).
What is the root of the word qavânin (rules), and why doesn't it have a standard Persian plural ending?
qavânin is an Arabic "broken plural" of the word qânun (law/rule). In formal Farsi, many nouns borrowed from Arabic use these internal vowel-shifting plurals instead of the standard Persian -hâ or -ân endings. You will frequently see qavânin used for legal, administrative, or scientific rules.
Why does the adverb rasman (officially) have that double dash symbol at the end (اً)?
That symbol is called tanvin. It is a feature borrowed from Arabic that turns a noun or adjective into an adverb ending in an "-an" sound. Here, it turns the base word rasm (tradition/custom) into the adverb rasman (officially). It is very common in formal Persian and always sounds like "-an" regardless of the preceding letters.
How is the word payâm-resân (messenger) built?
It is a compound word made of payâm (message) and resân, which is the present stem of resândan (to deliver / to cause to reach). Combining a noun with a present stem is a very common way in Farsi to create a noun for a person or tool that performs an action. Today, payâm-resân is also widely used to mean a digital messaging app.
Why is the object marker râ placed after edâri instead of right after the rules (qavânin)?
The word râ must always follow the entire noun phrase that acts as the specific direct object. Because "the administrative rules" is a single unit joined by the ezafe (qavânin-e edâri), the râ waits until the very end of the descriptive phrase to show up.
