Questions & Answers about مطابق این مصوبه، ما باید شیشه و پلاستیک را بازیافت کنیم.
Do we need an ezafe between motâbeq and in?
Yes! Like the other complex prepositions of accordance in this lesson, motâbeq requires an ezafe to connect to the noun phrase that follows it. You pronounce it motâbeq-e in mosavvabe, grammatically acting like "the accordance of this resolution".
Are tebq-e and motâbeq-e perfectly interchangeable in this sentence?
In this context, yes. Both tebq-e in mosavvabe and motâbeq-e in mosavvabe mean "according to this resolution" and are formal. Motâbeq-e can sometimes carry a slightly stronger sense of "in exact compliance with" or "matching," but when citing rules and laws, they function as synonyms.
Why is the direct object marker râ placed only after pelâstik and not after shishe too?
When you have multiple items forming a single compound direct object joined by va (and), you only put râ at the very end of the entire phrase. Here, shishe va pelâstik (glass and plastic) is treated as one complete object block, so râ applies to both words.
Why doesn't the subjunctive verb bâzyâft konim have a be- prefix after bâyad?
Bâyad (must) forces the following verb into the subjunctive mood, which usually adds a be- prefix to the verb (making it bekonim). However, bâzyâft kardan (to recycle) is a compound verb. In modern Farsi, it is very common to drop the be- prefix on the auxiliary verb (kardan) when it is part of a compound verb.
