Questions & Answers about نامبرده باید اطلاعات را به سازمان مربوطه ارسال کند.
In this sentence, is nâm-borde functioning as an adjective or a noun?
It is functioning as a standalone noun/pronoun meaning "the said person". While it often translates as the adjective "aforementioned", in formal and administrative Farsi it is very commonly used on its own as a subject to refer to a previously mentioned person without needing to add a noun like shakhs (person).
What is the literal meaning behind the word nâm-borde?
It is a compound made from nâm (name) and borde (the past participle of bordan, to take or carry). Literally, it means someone or something "whose name has been carried/mentioned" previously in the text.
Could I use the word mazkur instead of nâm-borde here to mean the same thing?
Yes, but you would need to change the grammar. Unlike nâm-borde, mazkur functions strictly as an adjective and usually cannot stand alone as a subject. You would need to add a noun to attach it to, such as shakhs-e mazkur (the aforementioned person) or fard-e mazkur.
Why does the adjective marbute in sâzmân-e marbute end with a silent "h" (ـه)?
The word marbut means "related" or "relevant". The silent "h" ending (pronounced as a short "e") is a leftover Arabic feminine marker that Farsi kept for a few specific formal adjectives. The phrase sâzmân-e marbute simply means "the relevant organization".
As a refresher, why doesn't the subjunctive verb ersâl konad have the usual be- prefix?
The infinitive is ersâl kardan (to send). Because it is a compound verb made of an Arabic noun and the light verb kardan, the subjunctive prefix be- is typically dropped in modern Farsi. It still takes the subjunctive mood (rather than the indicative mikonad) because it follows the modal verb bâyad (must).
