Questions & Answers about مردم استقلالخواه برای کشور خود مبارزه کردند.
How is the adjective esteghlâl-khâh formed using the current lesson's grammar?
It combines the noun esteghlâl (independence) with the suffix -khâh, which is the present stem of the verb khâstan (to want or desire). Together they form a compound adjective describing someone who seeks or demands that noun.
Could we say keshvar-e shân instead of keshvar-e khod for their country?
You will be understood, but using khod is much better Farsi here. Because the subject of the sentence (the people) is also the owner of the country, Farsi strongly prefers the reflexive pronoun khod to indicate it is their own country.
Mardom lacks a plural suffix like -hâ or -ân. Why does it take the plural verb kardand?
Mardom (people) is a collective noun. Just like in English, it inherently refers to multiple individuals, so it always dictates a plural verb.
Is mobâreze kardan used for physical fighting or ideological struggles?
It is primarily used for ideological, political, or social struggles, making it the perfect verb here for fighting for independence. For a physical fistfight or a military war, verbs like davâ kardan or jangidan are more common.
