Questions & Answers about بانک اقدام به وصول قانونی بدهی کرد.
How does the اقدام به construction work in this sentence?
This is the action focus construction. اقدام (eqdâm) means action or step, and with the preposition به (be) it means taking action to or proceeding to. In this structure, اقدام به must be followed by a noun or a long infinitive. Here, it is followed by the noun وصول (collection). The actual verb completing the action is کرد (kard) at the end of the sentence.
Why are اقدام and کرد separated by the rest of the sentence?
اقدام کردن (eqdâm kardan) is a compound verb. However, because it requires the preposition به (be) to introduce the action being taken, that entire prepositional phrase (به وصول قانونی بدهی) gets placed between the non-verbal half (اقدام) and the conjugated verb (کرد).
How is the phrase 'legal collection of the debt' connected grammatically?
It uses an Ezafe chain: وصول قانونی بدهی (vosul-e qânuni-ye bedehi). The noun وصول (collection) connects to its adjective قانونی (legal) with an -e, and then connects to the noun بدهی (debt) with a -ye because قانونی ends in a vowel.
Could we use a conjugated verb here instead of the noun وصول?
