Learn Farsi: آیا این قحطی به کوچ مردم ختم خواهد شد؟ - Will this famine end in the migration of the people?

The compound verb khatm shodan (to end / to conclude) requires the preposition be to express what a situation ends in. In this sentence, be is placed right before the noun phrase kuch-e mardom (the migration of the people).

Why is the preposition be separated from the verb khatm khahad shod?

In Farsi, a preposition and its object almost always come before the verb. So instead of English's verb-preposition-noun order (will end in the migration), the Farsi structure translates literally as 'in the migration of people will end' (be kuch-e mardom khatm khahad shod).

How is the future tense formed for the compound verb khatm shodan here?

For compound verbs, the future auxiliary khastan (here conjugated for the third-person singular as khahad) is inserted between the non-verbal part and the light verb. So khatm shodan becomes khatm khahad shod. Notice that the light verb uses its short infinitive stem (shod), dropping the final -an.

Could we use mohajerat instead of kuch for migration here?
