Questions & Answers about مردم آزادیخواه در راهپیمایی شرکت کردند.
How is the word آزادیخواه formed, and what exactly does the -خواه suffix do?
آزادی means freedom, and خواه is the present stem of خواستن (to want/to seek). When you add -خواه to a noun, it forms an adjective or noun describing someone who desires or advocates for that thing. So, آزادیخواه translates directly to freedom-seeking or libertarian.
I don't see an ezafe vowel written. Is there one between مردم and آزادیخواه?
Yes, it is pronounced mardom-e âzâdi-khâh. Even though it isn't written, the ezafe is required here to link the noun مردم (people) to its modifying adjective آزادیخواه (freedom-seeking).
The word مردم doesn't have a plural suffix. Why is the verb شرکت کردند plural?
مردم is a collective noun meaning people. In Persian, collective nouns that refer to groups of humans almost always take a plural verb, just like in English where we say the people are instead of the people is.
How is the word راهپیمایی (rally/march) constructed?
It is a great example of Persian word building! It combines راه (path/way) + پیما (the present stem of پیمودن, meaning to traverse) + the abstract noun-forming suffix -یی. Literally, it means path-traversing, which is used to describe a protest march or rally.
