How does az tarigh-e work here, and could I just use ba (with)?
az tarigh-e means "via", "through", or "by means of". It is a formal preposition used to indicate the channel, medium, or route of something. While you could informally say ba yek payam-resan (with a messenger), az tarigh-e is much more precise for expressing "through the medium of".
Why is the verb beferestim (we send) in the subjunctive, and why is it conjugated as "we" instead of just using an infinitive?
In Persian, impersonal phrases like lazem ast ta (it is necessary that) are followed by a conjugated verb in the subjunctive mood. Instead of a bare infinitive like the English "to send", Persian speakers usually conjugate the verb to match the implied subject. Here, "we" (beferestim) is used in a general sense, meaning "for us to send".
What is the breakdown of the word dastural'amal (guideline)?
