Questions & Answers about به نظر میرسد که پژوهشگاه بودجهی کافی ندارد.
How is the word پژوهشگاه formed to mean "research institute"?
It is formed by combining the noun پژوهش (research) with the location suffix گاه (place of). This suffix is used to create location nouns, making this literally mean "place of research". You have likely seen it in older vocabulary like دانشگاه (university, place of knowledge) and ایستگاه (station, place of standing).
Can you break down the phrase به نظر میرسد?
This is a very common fixed expression meaning "it seems". It is made up of به (to), نظر (view, sight, or opinion), and میرسد (it arrives, from the verb رسیدن). Literally, it translates to "it arrives to the view".
Why do we add ی to the end of بودجه in the phrase بودجهی کافی?
This is the ezafe used to link the noun بودجه (budget) to its adjective کافی (enough). Because بودجه ends in a silent ه (which produces an "e" vowel sound), the ezafe must be pronounced as a "ye" sound to avoid two vowels clashing. In modern writing, this is explicitly spelled out by adding the letter ی.
Since the sentence uses که (that), shouldn't the final verb ندارد be in the subjunctive mood?
Not in this case. While many phrases followed by که require the subjunctive, به نظر میرسد (it seems) generally introduces a statement of perceived fact. Because the speaker is stating what they believe is actually happening, the indicative mood ندارد (does not have) is used instead of the subjunctive.
