Questions & Answers about بعد از خاتمهی قرارداد، مستاجر باید ملک را به موجر تحویل دهد.
How would we modify this sentence to use the lesson's target words and say "the aforementioned property"?
You would place either mazkur or nâm-borde directly after melk (property) using an ezafe connector. It would become ...melk-e mazkur râ... or ...melk-e nâm-borde râ.... Because these function as adjectives describing the property, the direct object marker râ shifts to the very end of the noun phrase.
The words mosta'jer (tenant) and mujar (landlord) look and sound very similar. Are they related?
Yes, they both derive from the same Arabic root related to "rent" or "lease" (a-j-r). Mosta'jer follows a pattern for someone who seeks or receives the service (the tenant), while mujar is the one who provides it (the landlord). At the B2 level, recognizing these Arabic root pairings will make formal and legal Farsi much easier to digest!
Why is there an extra ی (ye) added to the end of خاتمه (khâtame) in the phrase خاتمهی قرارداد?
The word khâtame (termination) ends in a silent "he" (ه). When you link a word ending in a silent "he" to the next word using an ezafe (meaning "of" here), you must pronounce a "ye" sound. Modern Farsi spelling dictates adding the letter ی to represent this sound. In older texts, you might see this written as a small hamza (ء) floating above the silent "he" instead.
Since باید (bâyad) triggers the subjunctive mood, why doesn't the verb تحویل دهد (tahvil dehad) start with the subjunctive بـ (be-) prefix?
Tahvil dâdan (to deliver) is a compound verb. While the regular subjunctive of dâdan (to give) is bedehad, standard written Farsi frequently drops the be- prefix from the verbal part of a compound verb. It is still grammatically in the subjunctive mood. You might hear tahvil bedehad in everyday speech, but dropping the prefix is entirely standard in formal writing.
