Questions & Answers about من از این اجراکننده‌ی جدید خوشم می‌آید.

How exactly is the word ejrâ-konande formed to mean performer?
It is a compound agent noun. It combines the noun ejrâ (performance) with the present stem of the verb kardan (to do), which is kon, and finally adds the suffix -ande. Literally, it translates to performance-doer.
Why do we use az before the performer and khosham می‌آید at the end of the sentence?
The phrase for to like in Farsi is az [something] khosh-[pronoun] mi-âyad. It literally translates as from [something], my pleasantness comes. The az (from) introduces the object you like, and the possessive suffix -am on khosh shows who is experiencing the feeling.
Why is there a -ye sound attached to ejrâ-konande?
This is the ezâfe, which links the noun ejrâ-konande to its adjective jadid (new). Because the suffix -ande ends in a vowel sound (the short e), the ezâfe takes the form of -ye to bridge the two words smoothly.
Since the sentence uses khosham, do we really need the word man at the beginning?
No, the man (I) is optional here. The suffix -am attached to khosh already tells us who is doing the liking. Including man just adds a bit of emphasis, as if saying I really like this new performer.
