Questions & Answers about موسس خیریه دوستش را به عنوان خزانهدار منصوب کرد.
Do I need to pronounce an ezâfe after be onvân in this sentence?
Yes, it is always pronounced be onvân-e because it acts as a complex preposition that must link to the following noun (khazâneh-dâr) using the ezâfe.
Why does be onvân-e khazâneh-dâr come after the object marker râ?
Standard Farsi word order places the definite direct object and its marker (dustash râ) before prepositional phrases. So, the sentence structure correctly flows as: Subject + Direct Object + râ + Prepositional Phrase + Verb.
How does the suffix -dâr work in the word khazâneh-dâr (treasurer)?
The suffix -dâr comes from the present stem of dâshtan (to have or hold). It is frequently attached to nouns to indicate the "keeper" or "holder" of something. Here, khazâneh (treasury) + -dâr = treasurer. You might already recognize it from similar job titles like hesâb-dâr (accountant).
I know the word mo'assese (institution or foundation). Is mo'asses (founder) related to it?
Yes! They share the same Arabic root relating to a foundation or basis (asâs). Mo'asses refers to the person doing the action (the founder), while mo'assese refers to the physical institute or foundation they established.
