Questions & Answers about آنان در حال بازسازی یک مجتمع تجاری هستند.
Why isn't the auxiliary verb dâshtan used here to show an ongoing action?
Because this sentence uses the formal progressive structure. Instead of the conversational dârand ... mikonand, it uses dar hâl-e (in the state of) followed by the verbal noun bâzsâzi (reconstruction).
Why is there an invisible Ezafe connecting the action to the object (bâzsâzi-ye yek...)?
In the dar hâl-e structure, the action is expressed as a noun (bâzsâzi). Because it acts as a noun rather than an active verb, the thing being rebuilt connects to it with an Ezafe, translating literally as 'the reconstruction of a commercial complex'.
Is there a reason ânân is used here instead of the more common ânhâ?
Yes, ânân is a more formal, literary word for 'they' or 'those people'. It pairs naturally with the dar hâl-e progressive structure, which also belongs to a higher register of formal or written Farsi.
How is the verbal noun bâzsâzi formed?
It combines the prefix bâz- (meaning 'again' or 'back') with sâzi (building or making, derived from the verb sâkhtan).
