Questions & Answers about در مورد این موضوع، به مطبوعات تذکر داده شد.
How is the passive formed in تذکر داده شد?
The active compound verb is تذکر دادن (to warn / to give a warning). To make a compound verb with دادن passive, change the light verb to its past participle (داده) and add the auxiliary verb شدن (to become). So the active تذکر داد (warned) becomes the passive تذکر داده شد (was warned / a warning was given).
In English we usually say 'the press was warned', but here we use به (to). Why?
Because the active Farsi verb dictates the preposition. In Farsi, you give a warning to someone: به کسی تذکر دادن. When the sentence shifts to the passive voice, the recipient of the action keeps the preposition به, making the literal translation 'a warning was given to the press'.
What kind of plural is مطبوعات?
مطبوعات (matbu'ât) means 'the press' or 'publications'. It is formed using the Arabic plural suffix -ات (-ât), which you will frequently encounter in formal, journalistic, and academic texts. Although grammatically plural, it functions here as a collective noun for the media.
Could I use درباره instead of در مورد here?
Yes, درباره این موضوع (darbâreh-ye in mozu') means exactly the same thing ('about this issue'). However, در مورد (dar movred-e) sounds slightly more formal and administrative. This perfectly matches the official tone of giving a warning to the press.
