Questions & Answers about درصد زیادی از پاسخدهندگان با قانون جدید موافق هستند.
Why is the verb plural (hastand) when the subject starts with the singular word darsad (percentage)?
In Farsi, when a proportion like "a percentage of [noun]" is the subject, the verb agreement usually matches the logical subject—the noun that follows az (of). Because pāsox-dahandegān (respondents) is plural and refers to people, the verb takes the plural form hastand.
What is the -i at the end of ziādi in the phrase darsad-e ziādi?
That -i is the indefinite article, meaning "a" or "an". While you might expect it to attach directly to the noun, when a noun is followed by an adjective linked by ezafe, the indefinite -i usually attaches to the end of the adjective instead. So darsad-e ziādi means "a large percentage".
How is the word pāsox-dahandegān (respondents) built?
It is a compound word that literally means "answer-givers." Pāsox means "answer," and dahandegān is the plural of dahande (giver). Dahande itself is formed by adding the suffix -ande (which creates a "doer" noun) to the present stem of dādan (to give).
Why does the sentence use the preposition bā (with) before qānun-e jadid (the new rule)?
In English, we say we "agree to" a rule or just "agree" it. But in Farsi, "to agree" is expressed with the compound verb movāfeq budan, which literally translates to "to be in agreement." You are in agreement with something, so this verb always pairs with the preposition bā.
