Questions & Answers about ما میخواهیم این کالا را به دلیل نقص و پارگی مرجوع کنیم.
How is the word پارگی (tear) formed?
It is built from the adjective پاره (torn) plus the noun-forming suffix -i. Because پاره ends in a silent "e", the suffix becomes -gi to make pronunciation easier, resulting in پارگی (the state of being torn, or a tear).
Is مرجوع a verb on its own? How does it relate to describing completed states?
مرجوع (marju') is not a verb itself; it's a borrowed Arabic participle that means "returned" or "rejected." Similar to the Farsi resultative adjectives you are currently studying, it describes a completed state. To say "to return (an item)", Farsi uses the compound verb مرجوع کردن, which literally means "to make returned."
Why does the sentence use مرجوع کنیم instead of the indicative مرجوع میکنیم?
This happens because of the verb میخواهیم (we want). Verbs expressing desire, necessity, or intent require the second verb in the clause to be in the subjunctive mood. So, مرجوع کردن takes the present subjunctive form مرجوع کنیم (that we return).
Why is را placed immediately after این کالا and not closer to the verb?
The object marker را must always directly follow the specific direct object it is marking. Here, the specific direct object is این کالا (this item). The words that follow—به دلیل نقص و پارگی (because of the defect and tear)—form a prepositional phrase explaining the reason, so they come after the object and its را marker.
