Questions & Answers about جامعه مردم را به انطباق واداشت.
How is the compulsion structure formed in this sentence?
The verb vâdâsht (from vâdâshtan, to compel) uses a specific pattern taught in this lesson: direct object + râ + be + [Noun or Infinitive]. Here, society forces the people (mardom râ) to (be) conformity (entebâq).
Could we use an infinitive verb instead of the noun entebâq here?
Yes! While entebâq is a noun meaning conformity, the preposition be in this structure can also be followed by a long infinitive (the full dictionary form of a verb). For example, you could say be peyravi kardan (to obey or conform) to describe forcing the people to do the specific action of conforming.
How would this sentence look if we used majbur sâkhtan (to force) instead of vâdâshtan?
It would look almost identical: jâme'e mardom râ be entebâq majbur sâkht. Both vâdâshtan and majbur sâkhtan take the exact same grammatical structure, using râ for the person being forced and be for what they are being forced into.
What kind of verb is vâdâshtan, and how does it conjugate?
vâdâshtan is a prefixed verb, made of the prefix vâ- plus the simple verb dâshtan (to have). It conjugates just like dâshtan but keeps the vâ- prefix attached at the front. In this sentence, vâdâsht is the simple past, third-person singular form, which matches the subject jâme'e (society).
