Questions & Answers about ما در این سفر به انعطاف نیاز داریم، چون قیمت هتل مذاکرهپذیر نیست.
How does the suffix -pazir work in the word مذاکرهپذیر?
The suffix -پذیر comes from the present stem of the verb پذیرفتن (to accept). When added to a noun like مذاکره (negotiation), it creates an adjective meaning "capable of" or "susceptible to" that action. So, مذاکرهپذیر literally means "negotiation-accepting," which translates perfectly as "negotiable."
Why is there a به before انعطاف in the first half of the sentence?
The compound verb نیاز داشتن (to need) always requires the preposition به (to) to introduce the thing that is needed. You are literally saying "we have a need to flexibility" (ما به انعطاف نیاز داریم). This is a good reminder that prepositions in Farsi are tied to the verb, not the English translation.
Is there a way to use the new -pazir suffix with the word انعطاف (flexibility) as well?
Yes! While this sentence uses the standalone noun انعطاف (flexibility), you can add the suffix to make the adjective انعطافپذیر (flexible). It literally means "flexibility-accepting."
Can I express "negotiable" in this sentence without using the -pazir suffix?
Yes, another very common way to express capacity in Farsi is using the word قابل (qābel) followed by the noun linked with an ezafe. You could replace مذاکرهپذیر with قابل مذاکره (qābel-e mozākere). Both mean "negotiable" and are completely interchangeable here.
