Questions & Answers about برخیتان از سهم خود چشمپوشی کردید.
How is barkhi-tân formed, and can I use ba'zi instead?
The word barkhi means some. By attaching the second-person plural possessive enclitic -tân, it acts as a pronominal partitive meaning some of you. You can absolutely use ba'zi here instead to make ba'zi-tân, which means the exact same thing and is very common.
Why is khod used here instead of the pronoun -etân for your share?
Because the subject of the sentence is you plural (matching the verb ending -id), you use the reflexive pronoun khod (self or own) to refer back to the subject. Saying sahm-etân is also grammatically correct, but using sahm-e khod is more natural in Farsi when emphasizing giving up one's own share.
What does cheshm-pushi literally mean?
It translates literally to eye-covering. It is made of cheshm (eye) and pushi (from the verb for wearing or covering). Together as the compound verb cheshm-pushi kardan, it means to turn a blind eye to something, overlook it, or in this context, to voluntarily relinquish or give up a claim to something.
Why is the preposition az used in this sentence?
The compound verb cheshm-pushi kardan requires the preposition az (from) to introduce the thing being relinquished or overlooked. You are literally doing eye-covering from your share.
