Learn Farsi: خودروسازان در این صنعت به تولید انبوه نیاز دارند. - Automakers in this industry need mass production.

خودروسازان is made of three parts: خودرو (automobile), the suffix ساز (maker), and the plural ending ان (used for people or groups). The suffix -ساز is actually the present stem of the verb ساختن (to make or build). When attached to a noun, it forms a new noun meaning the maker or producer of that thing.

Why use the plural suffix -ان for خودروسازان instead of the regular -ها?

While -ها can make almost any word plural, the suffix -ان is specifically used for living beings, professions, and groups of people. Because خودروساز refers to automakers (the people or human-run companies making cars), -ان is the standard choice. It also elevates the tone, making it sound professional and appropriate for business contexts.

Why is the preposition به placed before the phrase تولید انبوه?

The preposition به (to or for) is required by the verb phrase نیاز داشتن (to need or to have a need). In Farsi, you do not directly need an object; you literally 'have a need TO an object'. Therefore, the grammar dictates using به before whatever it is that you need.

How do the words in تولید انبوه combine to mean 'mass production'?

تولید means production, and means dense, abundant, or mass. They are connected by the invisible ezafe vowel, pronounced 'tolid-e anbouh'. This specific noun-plus-adjective pair is the fixed, standard term for the economic concept of 'mass production' in Farsi.
