Questions & Answers about این شاخص سی درصد سود اقتصادی را نشان میدهد.
Why does si darsad (thirty percent) come before sud (profit), and does it need an ezafe?
In Farsi, percentages act like numbers. Just as you place a simple number before a noun without an ezafe, you place the percentage directly before the noun it quantifies. Therefore, si darsad comes right before sud-e eqtesādi (economic profit) with no connecting ezafe.
The translation says 'indicates', but the verb is neshān midahad. How is this formed?
neshān dādan is a compound verb that literally means to give a sign or to show. Here, the light verb dādan (to give) conjugates in the present tense for a third-person singular subject, becoming midahad.
Why is the direct object marker rā placed all the way after eqtesādi?
The object marker rā must follow the entire direct object noun phrase. In this sentence, the complete object being indicated is si darsad sud-e eqtesādi (a thirty percent economic profit), so rā must wait until the very end of that phrase.
Does the plural amount si darsad affect whether the verb is singular or plural here?
No, it does not. The verb midahad (shows) must agree with the subject of the sentence, which is in shākhes (this index). Because the index is singular, the verb is singular. The percentage is part of the direct object, so it has no impact on verb agreement in this specific sentence.
