Questions & Answers about اهم وظیفهی ارزیاب این است که متقاضی اصلح را انتخاب کند.
The word ahamm comes before the noun vazifeh. Is this acting as a superlative?
Yes. ahamm is an Arabic elative (following the 'af'al' pattern) meaning 'most important.' In Farsi, when an Arabic elative is placed right before a singular noun, it acts exactly like a Persian superlative ending in '-tarin'. So, ahamm vazifeh means the exact same thing as mohemm-tarin vazifeh (the most important duty).
What is the root of aslah and how does its meaning work here?
aslah also follows the Arabic 'af'al' pattern, which inherently carries a comparative or superlative meaning. It comes from the root s-l-h (related to words you might know like saleh meaning 'good' or 'pious', or eslah meaning 'correction'). Here, it inherently translates to 'most qualified' or 'best suited'.
Why does ahamm come before its noun, but aslah comes after motaghazi?
Arabic elatives are quite flexible in formal Farsi. They can be placed before the noun to act strictly as superlatives (like ahamm vazifeh). However, they can also follow the noun connected by an Ezafe (like motaghazi-ye aslah). Even when they sit in the normal adjective position after the noun, they still carry their 'most' or 'best' meaning.
Why do we use the subjunctive entekhab kond instead of the indicative?
The phrase in ast ke (literally 'this is that') sets up a clause describing a goal, duty, or intention. Because the action of choosing hasn't actually happened yet and is just the aim of the evaluator's duty, the verb that follows must be in the subjunctive form.
