Questions & Answers about من خواستار مصاحبه با مدیر هستم.
How does the suffix ار work in the word خواستار?
The word خواستار is made from the past stem of خواستن (to want), which is خواست, plus the suffix ار. This suffix creates a noun or adjective describing a person who embodies or constantly performs that action. So, a خواستار is a seeker, a requester, or someone who is desirous of something.
How do we connect خواستار to مصاحبه when reading this sentence aloud?
They are connected by the spoken ezâfe vowel (-e), making it khâstâr-e mosâhebe. The ezâfe links the noun/adjective خواستار (seeker/desirous) to the specific thing being sought, which in this case is مصاحبه (an interview).
Could I just use the regular verb for 'to want' instead of saying خواستار ... هستم?
Yes, you could simply use the present stem and say من میخواهم با مدیر مصاحبه کنم (I want to interview with the manager). However, using the noun خواستار combined with the verb هستم (I am) elevates the register of the sentence. It sounds much more formal and professional, similar to saying 'I am requesting an interview' rather than 'I want an interview' in English.
Can the word مصاحبه be used for both job interviews and media interviews?
Yes, مصاحبه is a very versatile word. It applies to job interviews, journalistic interviews on television or in print, and even formal consultations.
