Questions & Answers about هدایتکنندهی کانال با مصاحبهکننده صحبت کرد.
Both hedâyat-konande and mosâhebe-konande end in -konande. How does this ending work?
The suffix -ande attaches to a verb's present stem to mean someone who does that action. Here, it attaches to kon (the present stem of kardan, to do). So konande literally means a doer. When paired with nouns like hedâyat (guidance) and mosâhebe (interview), you get a guidance-doer (director) and an interview-doer (interviewer).
Why is there an extra ی (ye) attached to hedâyat-konande?
That is the ezâfe linking the director to the channel, meaning the director of the channel. Because konande ends with a silent ه (sounding like a short 'e'), the ezâfe must be written with a ی to bridge the two vowel sounds, pronounced as -ye.
If mosâhebe-konande means the interviewer, how would I say the interviewee (the person being interviewed)?
To show who is receiving the action of a compound verb, Farsi typically uses the present stem of shodan (to become) plus -ande. So the interviewee is mosâhebe-shavande, literally meaning the one becoming interviewed.
Could I also use this -ande pattern to turn the verb sohbat kard into a noun for a speaker?
Yes, it is a very productive pattern! You take the noun part of the compound verb and add . From (to speak), you get (a speaker or someone who converses).
