Question 1

Since this lesson covers both dar ezâ-ye and dar qebâl-e, could I use dar qebâl-e in this sentence instead?

Accepted Answer

It is much better to stick with dar ezâ-ye here. dar ezâ-ye explicitly means "in exchange for" or "in return for," which perfectly captures the transaction of the falcon giving its trust in exchange for its freedom. dar qebâl-e translates closer to "vis-à-vis," "towards," or "in the face of," which is typically used for reciprocal duties, obligations, or reactions rather than a direct trade.

Question 2

How is the noun rahâsâzi (release) built?

Accepted Answer

It is a compound noun made of three parts: rahâ (free) + sâz (the present stem of sâkhtan, to make) + the noun-forming suffix -i. Put together, it literally translates to "the act of making free."

Question 3

I see konande in râm-konande (tamer). How does this suffix work?

Accepted Answer

The suffix -konande means "the doer of an action" and is the active participle form of kardan (to do/make). Since râm means "tame," a râm-konande is literally "the one who makes tame." You will see this suffix attached to many noun and adjective stems to describe someone's role or profession.

Question 4

Why does the sentence use the preposition be (to) before the tamer, instead of using the direct object marker râ?

Accepted Answer

In Farsi, the compound verb e'temâd kardan (to trust) requires the preposition be (to). You don't trust someone directly like a direct object; you "give trust to someone." Therefore, it must be be râm-konande e'temâd mikonad rather than using râ.
