Learn Farsi: این شرکت سازنده‌ی فیلم و پخش‌کننده‌ی موسیقی است. - This company is the maker of the film and the distributor of the music.

It is an agent noun, which is a noun describing who or what does an action. To form it, take the present stem of the verb sâkhtan (to make or build), which is sâz, and add the suffix -ande. This gives us sâzande (maker or builder).

The word for "distributor" is pakhsh-konande. How does the -ande suffix work with compound verbs?

For compound verbs like pakhsh kardan (to distribute or broadcast), you only apply the suffix to the verb part (kardan). The present stem of kardan is kon, so adding -ande makes konande (doer). Keep the first part of the compound verb as it is, and you get pakhsh-konande (literally "distribution-doer").

Why is there an extra letter ی (ye) attached to the end of sâzande and pakhsh-konande?

This is the Ezafe, a grammatical connector used here to mean "of" (as in "maker of the film" and "distributor of the music"). Because the -ande suffix ends in an "e" sound (written with the silent letter ه), the Ezafe requires a bridge consonant to connect the two vowels. This bridge is pronounced as "ye" and is usually written here with the letter ی.

Does the suffix -ande only apply to people, like a "driver" or a "writer"?
