Questions & Answers about عدالت برای یک جامعهی سالم مهم است.
The current lesson covers the suffix -khâh (seeking/wanting). How could we apply that to the vocabulary in this sentence?
You can attach the suffix -khâh to the noun عدالت (justice) to create the compound adjective عدالتخواه (edâlat-khâh). This translates to justice-seeking or egalitarian.
Why is there a ی added to the end of جامعه (jâme'e)?
The word جامعه ends with a silent heh. To link it to the adjective سالم (healthy) using the Ezafe, you must add the letter ی (ye) to bridge the two vowel sounds, making it جامعهی سالم (jâme'e-ye sâlem).
We see the noun عدالت (justice) here. What is the adjective form for just or fair?
The adjective form is عادل (âdel). Like many words in Farsi, both share the same Arabic root letters (A-D-L) related to fairness and equity.
Is the word order strictly fixed, or could I say عدالت مهم است برای یک جامعه سالم?
In formal and written Farsi, the verb است should go at the very end, placing the prepositional phrase before the adjective complement مهم. In casual spoken Farsi, however, you will frequently hear the prepositional phrase moved to the very end after the verb.
