Questions & Answers about وکیل از بعضیشان خواست که از اموال چشمپوشی کنند.
How does ba'zi-shân translate to "some of them"?
The word ba'zi means "some", and attaching the third-person plural possessive ending -shân literally creates "their some". In Farsi, attaching a possessive enclitic directly to a quantifier or indefinite pronoun is the standard way to express a partitive phrase like "some of them". For example, if you wanted to say "some of us", you would use ba'zi-mân.
Why is the preposition az used twice in this sentence?
Each az is triggered by a different verb in the sentence. The first one pairs with khâst (from khâstan): asking someone to do something is expressed as wanting something from someone (az kasi khâstan). The second az is required by the compound verb cheshm-pushi kardan (to relinquish or overlook), which always takes az before the object being given up.
Why is the second verb cheshm-pushi konand in the subjunctive mood?
The main verb khâst (asked or wanted) expresses a desire or command. In Farsi, verbs of wanting, asking, or suggesting require the verb in the following subordinate clause (introduced by ke) to be in the present subjunctive mood, reflecting that the action is desired but has not yet occurred.
What is the singular form of amvâl?
The singular form is mâl, which translates to property, wealth, or asset. amvâl is an Arabic broken plural that is very common in Farsi legal and formal contexts to refer to properties or goods.
