Questions & Answers about ما باید به هر قومیتی احترام بگذاریم.
How is the word qowmiyyat formed using this lesson's grammar?
It is built from the noun qowm (tribe or people). By attaching the Arabic suffix -iyyat, we create the abstract noun qowmiyyat, which translates to ethnicity or nationality.
Why is there an -i attached to the end of qowmiyyati?
While har (every) can simply be followed by a bare singular noun, adding the indefinite suffix -i to make it har qowmiyyati emphasizes any or every single ethnicity. This is very common in general statements of principle.
Why is the preposition be used before har qowmiyyati?
In English, respect takes a direct object. However, the Farsi verb is ehteram gozashtan, which literally means to put respect. Therefore, you must use be to indicate whom or what you are putting respect to.
Why does the verb use the form bogzarim instead of the indicative migozarim?
The auxiliary word bayad (must) always triggers the subjunctive mood for the main verb. Here, the verb gozashtan takes the subjunctive prefix bo- and the first-person plural ending -im, matching the subject ma (we).
