Questions & Answers about ما تاییدیه را طی ماه گذشته از طریق درگاه دریافت کردیم.
How is طی (tayy) used in this sentence, and could I use در طول (dar tul) instead?
طی means during or over the course of. It connects to the noun it modifies using an ezafe, so it is pronounced tayy-e. It is a slightly formal word. You could absolutely replace it with در طول (dar tul-e), which is the other formal preposition of duration taught in this lesson, without changing the meaning of the sentence.
Does the phrase از طریق (az tarigh) also need an ezafe to connect to the next word?
Yes! The word طریق means way or route, so از طریق literally means from the route of. Just like most compound prepositions in Farsi, it requires an ezafe to link it to the following noun. Here, it is pronounced az tarigh-e dargah (via the portal).
What does the suffix یه (-iyeh) do to the word تایید (taeed)?
The word تایید on its own refers to the abstract concept of approval or confirmation. Adding the suffix یه (-iyeh) turns it into a concrete, physical, or official item. So, تاییدیه (taeediyeh) specifically refers to the official document, certificate, or message of confirmation.
Why does the object marker را (ra) come before the time phrase طی ماه گذشته?
The object marker را must follow the specific direct object it marks as closely as possible. Here, the direct object is تاییدیه (the confirmation). Prepositional phrases showing time (طی ماه گذشته) and method (از طریق درگاه) act as adverbs, so they naturally fit after the marked object and before the verb at the very end of the sentence.
