Questions & Answers about رقصندهها در راستای انسجام گروه حرکت میکنند.
What is the literal meaning of the preposition dar râstâ-ye used in this sentence?
Literally, râstâ means direction or alignment. So dar râstâ-ye originally means in the direction of or along the line of. In this sentence, it takes on its complex, metaphorical meaning: in accordance with or in the service of the group's cohesion. Because it is a compound preposition, it relies on the ezafe (-ye) to attach to the following noun.
How does the ezafe chain work in the phrase dar râstâ-ye ensejâm-e goruh?
There are two ezafe links working together here. The first is the -ye on râstâ-ye, linking the complex preposition to the noun ensejâm (cohesion). The second is the -e on ensejâm-e, linking the word cohesion to goruh (group) to show possession or association.
How is the noun raqsandeh-hâ formed?
It comes from the verb raqsidan (to dance). By taking the present stem raqs and attaching the agent suffix -andeh, you form raqsandeh, meaning a dancer or one who dances. The standard plural suffix -hâ is then added to make it plural.
Would it be acceptable to use the singular verb mi-konad here instead of the plural mi-konand?
No, using a singular verb would be grammatically incorrect here. As a quick B2 refresher: while plural inanimate objects (like books or chairs) generally take a singular verb, raqsandeh-hâ (dancers) are animate humans. Plural human subjects always require a plural verb, which is why harkat mi-konand is strictly required.
