Questions & Answers about ما دیگر به مشروعیت قانون جدید شک نداریم.
How is the abstract noun مشروعیت formed in this sentence?
It is created by adding the Arabic suffix ـیت (-iyyat) to the adjective مشروع (mashru'), which means "legitimate" or "lawful." This suffix acts a lot like "-ity" or "-ness" in English, turning the base adjective into the noun "legitimacy."
Why do we use the preposition به before مشروعیت?
The compound verb شک داشتن (to have doubt / to doubt) requires the preposition به to show what is being doubted. While in English you just "doubt something," in Farsi you literally "have doubt to something."
How does دیگر give us the meaning of "no longer" here?
The word دیگر normally means "other" or "else." However, when you pair it with a negative verb—in this case, نداریم (we do not have)—the combination translates to "not anymore" or "no longer."
Where are the Ezafe vowels in the phrase مشروعیت قانون جدید?
There are two Ezafe connections here, pronounced as مشروعیتِ قانونِ جدید (mashru'iyyat-e qanun-e jadid). The first connects "legitimacy" to "law" to show possession (the legitimacy of the law), and the second connects "law" to its describing adjective "new."
