Questions & Answers about بعد از حسابرسی، دولت اقدام به توقیف کالاها کرد.
How does the eqdâm be construction work here, and why isn't there a conjugated verb for 'confiscate'?
The phrase eqdâm be means 'taking action to' or 'proceeding to'. In Farsi, it must be followed by a noun or a full infinitive, not a conjugated verb. Here, it is followed by the action noun towqif (confiscation). The main verb is at the very end: kard (did), which pairs with eqdâm to form the compound verb eqdâm kardan (to take action).
Why is there an Ezafe between towqif and kâlâhâ?
Because towqif (confiscation) is a noun rather than a conjugated verb, it needs an Ezafe to link it to the objects being confiscated. Literally, the phrase translates to 'the confiscation of the goods' (towqif-e kâlâhâ).
The lesson says we can also use a 'long infinitive' with eqdâm be. Could we do that here?
Yes, you could say eqdâm be towqif kardan-e kâlâhâ kard, using the full infinitive towqif kardan (to confiscate). However, dropping the light verb kardan and just using the noun towqif makes the sentence more concise and formal, which fits this legal and governmental context perfectly.
How is the word hesâbrasi (auditing) built?
It is built from hesâb (account) and the present stem of residan (to attend to or reach). A hesâbras is an auditor (someone who attends to accounts), and adding the -i suffix creates the abstract noun hesâbrasi (auditing).
