Questions & Answers about درک کردنشان به مداخلهی شناختی و عاطفی نیاز دارد.
How does درک کردنشان work to mean 'understanding them'?
The suffix -شان (-eshan) is the possessive enclitic for 'their/them'. Here it attaches directly to the full infinitive درک کردن (dark kardan, to understand). Instead of using a separate pronoun with an ezafe, like درک کردنِ آنها (dark kardan-e anha), attaching the enclitic creates a smooth, single-word verbal noun phrase meaning 'the understanding of them' or 'understanding them'.
Why does the enclitic attach to کردن instead of درک? Could we say درکشان کردن?
Because درک کردن is functioning here as a single verbal noun (a gerund, 'understanding') rather than a conjugated verb. When dealing with the full infinitive, the enclitic goes at the very end: درک کردنشان. If this were a conjugated verb like 'I understand them', the enclitic would usually attach to the non-verbal part: درکشان می کنم.
Why is there a به (be) before مداخله (modakhele)?
The compound verb نیاز داشتن (niaz dashtan, meaning to need or to require) strongly requires the preposition به (to) to introduce the thing that is needed. The literal structure is that the subject 'has a need TO' the intervention.
How are the adjectives شناختی (shenakhti) and عاطفی (atefi) formed?
Both are made by adding the suffix -ی (-i), which turns nouns into adjectives of relation. شناخت (shenakht) means knowledge or cognition, making cognitive. (atefe) means emotion or affection; its final silent heh drops when adding the suffix to form (emotional).
