Questions & Answers about بازسازی بارو و خندق به عهدهی کارگرها است.
Can I use بر عهدهی instead of به عهدهی in this sentence?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable here. Both به عهدهی and بر عهدهی translate literally to "on the responsibility of." You just add the noun for the person responsible (here, کارگرها) after the Ezafe, and finish with the copula verb (است).
How does the word بازسازی (rebuilding) connect to "rampart and moat" if there's no preposition like "of" written?
They are connected by a spoken but unwritten Ezafe. You pronounce it بازسازیِ بارو و خندق (bāzsāzi-e bāru o khandaq). When an action noun like بازسازی is followed by the things receiving the action, Farsi uses the Ezafe to link them, acting just like the English "of".
Since there are multiple workers and two structures (rampart and moat), why is the verb singular (است)?
The verb must agree with the main subject of the sentence. Here, the subject is بازسازی (rebuilding), which is a single action. The workers are simply attached to the prepositional phrase به عهدهی, so they don't dictate the verb form.
How do the parts of the word بازسازی (bāzsāzi) break down?
It is made of three distinct parts: the prefix باز (again/back), the present stem ساز (from the verb ساختن meaning "to build"), and the noun-forming suffix ی. Together, they form "re-building."
