Questions & Answers about مقرر میشود که کمیتهی انضباطی رفتار ورزشکاران را بررسی کند.
Why does barrasi kardan change to the subjunctive barrasi konad in this sentence?
The phrase moqarrar mishavad ke (it is stipulated that) sets up an action that has not happened yet, but is commanded or decided upon. In Farsi, verbs following formal declarations of requirement or stipulation must take the present subjunctive.
How does the passive verb moqarrar mishavad work? Can I say who made the stipulation?
Moqarrar shodan is a formal passive verb meaning 'to be stipulated' or 'to be decided.' In formal legal or bureaucratic Farsi, it is very common to use this impersonal passive structure without mentioning the agent (who made the decision). If you needed to specify who decided it, you would switch to the active voice: moqarrar kardan (to stipulate).
Why doesn't the subjunctive verb barrasi konad have the usual be- prefix?
Barrasi kardan is a compound verb. When forming the subjunctive of a compound verb with kardan, the auxiliary verb konad often drops the be- prefix, especially in formal writing. While barrasi bekonad is grammatically possible and common in spoken Farsi, barrasi konad sounds much more professional and standard in this formal context.
Why is the direct object marker ra placed after varzeshkaran and not right after raftar (behavior)?
The verb barrasi konad acts on the entire noun phrase 'the athletes' behavior' (raftar-e varzeshkaran). When a direct object includes an Ezafe chain (a noun linked to its possessor or adjective), the ra must always follow the very last word of that entire block, not just the head noun.
What is the root of varzeshkaran (athletes), and why use the -an plural suffix here?
The singular is varzeshkar (athlete), which comes from varzesh (sport) plus the suffix -kar (doer/practitioner). While the regular plural -ha (varzeshkar-ha) is perfectly fine in everyday speech, the -an suffix (varzeshkaran) is used for animate beings (people) and adds a formal, elevated tone that matches the bureaucratic style of this sentence.
