Question 1

How does the suffix -sâz work in the word dârusâzân?

Accepted Answer

The word is built from three parts: dâru (medicine or drug), sâz (the present stem of sâkhtan, meaning to make or build), and -ân (the plural suffix for people). By combining a noun and the -sâz stem, you create a professional title meaning the maker of that noun. So, a dârusâz is literally a medicine-maker, or pharmacist.

Question 2

Could I use -hâ instead of -ân to make the pharmacists plural?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can absolutely say dârusâzhâ in everyday conversation. However, because pharmacists are people (animate nouns), they can also take the -ân suffix. In written, news-like, or slightly formal contexts like this sentence, dârusâzân is preferred and sounds more professional.

Question 3

Why is the object marker râ placed all the way after vâksan?

Accepted Answer

The marker râ must follow the entire direct object phrase, not just the head noun. Here, the direct object is the whole concept of the mass production of the vaccine (towlid-e anbouh-e vâksan). The râ waits until the very end of this ezafe chain to mark the entire block of words as the target of the verb.

Question 4

How do the words in towlid-e anbouh-e vâksan connect grammatically?

Accepted Answer

They are linked by an ezafe chain (the connecting 'eh' sound). The chain follows a Noun + Adjective + Noun pattern. First, towlid (production) is linked to its adjective anbouh (mass or abundant) by an ezafe. Then, that combined idea is linked to the specific noun vâksan (vaccine) by a second ezafe to show what is being produced.
