Questions & Answers about گویا نگه داشتن ذخایر دژ بر عهدهی شماست.
Can we use be ohde-ye instead of bar ohde-ye in this sentence?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable. Both bar ohde-ye and be ohde-ye mean "the responsibility of." Bar is slightly more formal or literary than be, which fits nicely with the historical tone of words like dezh (fortress).
How does the phrase negah dashtan-e zakhayer-e dezh work together as the subject?
Persian uses the full infinitive negah dashtan (to keep) much like an English gerund ("keeping"). It connects to its object (zakhayer) and the possessor (dezh) using an Ezafe chain. Literally, it translates to "the keeping of the reserves of the fortress."
Is the adverb guya interchangeable with be nazar miresad (it seems)?
They have very similar meanings, but their grammar differs. Because guya is an adverb, you can just place it at the start of the sentence. If you used be nazar miresad, you would typically need to follow it with the conjunction keh (that) and form a subordinate clause.
Is zakhayer a broken plural? What is its singular form?
Yes, zakhayer (reserves/stores) is an Arabic broken plural. Its singular form in Persian is zakhireh (ذخیره). You will frequently see these broken forms in formal, journalistic, or historical contexts.
