Questions & Answers about در طول نشست خبری، دلایل به مطبوعات توضیح داده شد.
How is the passive voice formed for the verb توضیح دادن in this sentence?
The active compound verb is توضیح دادن (to explain). To make it passive, the verbal part دادن (dâdan) turns into its past participle داده (dâdeh) and is combined with the auxiliary verb شدن (shodan - to become). Here, it is in the simple past tense, giving us توضیح داده شد (was explained).
The word for reasons, دلایل, is plural. Why is the verb شد in the singular form rather than the plural شدند?
In Farsi, when the subject of a sentence is inanimate (not a human or animal), the verb is usually conjugated in the third-person singular, even if the subject is plural. Since دلایل (reasons) are inanimate, شد is used instead of شدند.
What is the literal translation of نشست خبری?
The word نشست comes from the verb نشستن (to sit) and means a sitting, meeting, or session. خبری means news-related or journalistic, coming from خبر (news). Together, نشست خبری translates literally to news meeting, which is the standard term for a press conference.
Both دلایل and مطبوعات are plural forms. Are they regular Farsi plurals?
No, both are borrowed Arabic plural structures commonly used in formal Farsi. دلایل is a broken plural of دلیل (reason), meaning its internal structure changes. مطبوعات (the press or publications) uses the Arabic plural suffix ـات (-aat) attached to مطبوع (printed).
