Questions & Answers about یک گروه عدالتخواه مثل یک خانوادهی بزرگ است.
What exactly is the suffix -khâh in the word edâlat-khâh?
It is the present stem of the verb khâstan (to want or desire). When attached to a noun like edâlat (justice), it creates an adjective describing someone or something that seeks that noun. Here, it translates to 'justice-seeking'.
Why is there a slight gap instead of a full space in عدالتخواه?
That is a half-space, which is standard in modern Farsi orthography for attaching suffixes like -khâh. It keeps the word visually grouped as a single unit without joining the letters.
Do we need an ezâfe between gorouh and edâlat-khâh?
Yes. Because edâlat-khâh is functioning as an adjective modifying gorouh (group), you must use an ezâfe. It is pronounced gorouh-e edâlat-khâh.
Does the word mesl (like) also need an ezâfe here?
Yes, prepositions of comparison like mesl require an ezâfe to connect to the noun phrase that follows. You pronounce it mesl-e yek khânevâdeh.
Why is there a ی added to the end of khânevâdeh?
The word khânevâdeh ends in a silent heh. To add an ezâfe before the adjective bozorg, the connecting sound becomes 'ye' instead of just 'e' to prevent two vowels from clashing. This is written with the letter .
