Questions & Answers about به عنوان موسس این شرکت، من باید تصمیم بگیرم.
How do the ezafe connections work in the phrase "be onvân-e mouses-e in sherkat"?
The preposition be onvân-e (as / in the capacity of) always requires an ezafe to link it to the role or title. So, you have be onvân-e mouses (as the founder). Then, mouses also takes an ezafe to link it to the company: mouses-e in sherkat. This creates an ezafe chain linking the entire descriptive phrase together.
Could I use "mesl-e" (like/as) instead of "be onvân-e" in this sentence?
No, because it would completely change the meaning. Mesl-e means "similar to" (e.g., acting like a founder, perhaps when you actually aren't one). Be onvân-e is specifically used when you actually hold that role or title, translating to "in the capacity of."
Why is the verb for "make a decision" formed with "begiram"?
The Farsi compound verb for "to decide" is tasmim gereftan (literally "to take a decision"). Because it follows the modal verb bâyad (must), the verb must go into the subjunctive mood. Therefore, the gereftan part becomes begiram to match the first-person subject man (I).
Since the verb ending already tells us the subject is "I", why is the pronoun "man" included here?
While it is grammatically fine to drop man because the -am ending on begiram indicates "I", including it adds emphasis. Given the context of stating a title ("As the founder..."), the speaker is stressing that the responsibility to decide falls specifically on them.
