Questions & Answers about آیا طرفین بدون اجماع به بنبست رسیدند؟
Why do we use the verb رسیدند (arrived) with به بنبست here?
The light verb رسیدن (to arrive) often forms culminative compound verbs that describe reaching a final state or outcome. The noun بنبست means "dead end" or "impasse". Just like physical arrival, this abstract compound verb requires the preposition به (to). So, به بنبست رسیدن means "to arrive at an impasse" or "to reach a deadlock."
طرفین (both parties) doesn't have a standard Farsi plural ending like ها or ان. Why does it take the plural verb رسیدند?
طرفین uses the Arabic dual suffix ـین (-eyn), meaning exactly "two sides" or "both parties" (from طرف, meaning side/party). Because the noun inherently refers to two entities, Farsi treats it as a plural subject, which is why the verb رسیدند is in the third-person plural.
Is there an Ezafe connecting بدون (without) and اجماع (consensus)?
Yes. In Farsi, many prepositions like بدون (without) require an unseen Ezafe vowel to connect them to the noun that follows. You must pronounce this phrase as بدونِ اجماع (bedun-e ejmaa').
What is the literal makeup of the word بنبست (deadlock)?
It is a compound noun made up of بن (root, base, or bottom) and بست (closed, from the verb بستن). A "closed root" refers literally to a street with a dead end, and is used figuratively for a diplomatic or situational "deadlock."
