Questions & Answers about آیا چیزی در این قرارداد مذاکرهپذیر است؟
How does the word مذاکرهپذیر break down, and what exactly does the suffix -پذیر mean?
مذاکرهپذیر is formed by combining the noun مذاکره (negotiation) with the suffix -پذیر (-pazir). This suffix is the present stem of the verb پذیرفتن (to accept). When attached to a noun, it creates an adjective meaning "capable of" or "susceptible to" that action, functioning just like the English suffix "-able". Literally, it means "accepting of negotiation."
How would I say that the contract is non-negotiable using this suffix?
To make a -پذیر adjective negative, you add the negative prefix نا- (na-) to the beginning of the word. So, "non-negotiable" becomes نامذاکرهپذیر (na-mozakere-pazir). You might also hear the alternative phrase غیر قابل مذاکره (gheyr-e ghabel-e mozakere).
What is the literal breakdown of the word قرارداد (contract)?
قرارداد (gharardad) is a compound noun made of قرار (agreement, condition, or appointment) and داد (from the verb meaning "to give"). In business and legal contexts, this combination translates to a contract or treaty.
Why does چیزی translate to "anything" here instead of "something"?
