Questions & Answers about این نظریه بین مردم مقبول است.
How does مقبول demonstrate the Arabic passive participle pattern from this lesson?
مقبول (maqbul) uses the Arabic maf'ul (ma-C1-C2-u-C3) pattern, which creates a passive adjective or noun referring to the thing receiving the action. The root consonants are ق-ب-ل (q-b-l). Because the root relates to accepting, مقبول literally translates to accepted.
What is the three-letter root for مقبول, and what other common Farsi words share it?
The root is ق-ب-ل (q-b-l), which carries the core meaning of acceptance or facing. You already know this root from everyday words like قبول (qabul - acceptance), استقبال (esteqbal - welcoming), and مقابل (moqabel - opposite). Spotting these three letters helps you instantly connect the vocabulary.
Since مقبول means accepted, could I use it to say my credit card was accepted?
Not usually. مقبول is a slightly formal or literary word, making it perfect for an abstract concept like a نظریه (theory). For an everyday transaction like a credit card being accepted, you would typically use a compound verb like قبول کردن (qabul kardan) or پذیرفتن (paziroftan).
How is the word نظریه (theory) formed from نظر (opinion)?
It uses the Arabic suffix ـیّه (-iyye, usually pronounced -iye in modern Persian). This suffix is frequently added to Arabic roots to create abstract nouns or systems of thought. By adding it, نظر (view) becomes نظریه (theory).
Is there an Ezafe used to link بین (among) and مردم (people) here?
Yes. Although it is not written out, there is an invisible Ezafe after بین, making it بینِ مردم (beyn-e mardom). Prepositions of location or relationship like بین (between/among), روی (on), and زیر (under) require an Ezafe to connect to the noun that follows them.
