How are the words pakhsh-konande (broadcaster) and masraf-konande (consumer) formed in this sentence?
Both are agent nouns created from compound verbs. The verb 'to broadcast' is pakhsh kardan, and 'to consume' is masraf kardan. To make the agent noun (the person doing the action), you take the present stem of kardan, which is kon, and add the suffix -ande. So, pakhsh-konande literally means 'broadcast-do-er', and masraf-konande means 'consume-do-er'.
Why does the word mostaqiman (directly) end with an -an sound, and how is it written?
The word mostaqiman comes from the Arabic adjective mostaqim (direct). The -an ending is an Arabic adverbial suffix (often called tanvin) used in Farsi to turn adjectives into adverbs. In the Persian script, this ending is written with an alef and two small diagonal dashes on top, which is why it looks like مستقیماً.
The verb here is mi-resânad (delivers). How does this relate to the common verb residan (to arrive)?
The verb resândan is the causative form of residan. While residan means 'to arrive', adding -ân- to the present stem (res-) creates the causative stem resân-, meaning 'to make something arrive' or 'to deliver'. Therefore, mi-resânad means 'he/she/it delivers'.
Is akhbâr a plural word? Why does it not take a regular Farsi plural suffix like -hâ?
