Questions & Answers about جیرهبندی ذخایر بر عهدهی ما است.
What does bar ohde-ye literally mean here, and can I use be instead of bar?
Literally, it means "on the responsibility of" or "on the charge of". Yes, you can absolutely use be ohde-ye instead of bar ohde-ye. Both are widely used prepositional predicates for expressing that a task is someone's duty, though bar often sounds slightly more formal or literary.
Could I attach a pronominal suffix to express "our responsibility" instead of using the independent pronoun ma?
Yes! Instead of bar ohde-ye ma, you could attach the first-person plural suffix -eman directly to ohde, making it bar ohde-yeman ast. Both forms are perfectly natural, though using the independent pronoun ma places a slightly stronger emphasis on the fact that it is our responsibility specifically.
How is the word jireh-bandi (rationing) formed?
It is made of the noun jireh (ration or daily allowance) and the suffix -bandi, which is used to create nouns related to organizing, dividing, or categorizing. You will also see this very common suffix in words like dasteh-bandi (categorization) or zaman-bandi (scheduling).
The word for "reserves" is zakhayer. Is this an Arabic broken plural?
Yes, zakhayer is the broken plural of zakhireh (reserve or store). While you could technically say using the standard Persian plural suffix, using the broken plural is much more standard and expected in professional contexts like economics or resource management.
