Questions & Answers about همکاران باید از استهلاک یکدیگر جلوگیری کنند.
How does the word estehlâk fit the Form X pattern we're learning?
It perfectly follows the este-C1-C2-â-C3 pattern. The three-letter root is h-l-k, which relates to perishing or ruin. By applying the pattern, we get este-h-l-â-k, which denotes the process of being worn down or consumed. While often used for the financial "depreciation" of machines or assets, in this workplace context it translates perfectly to human "burnout."
Why is the preposition az used before estehlâk?
The compound verb جلوگیری کردن (to prevent) always pairs with the preposition از (from). In Farsi, you don't just prevent an action; you literally "prevent from" an action. So, to say "prevent burnout," you must use the structure از استهلاک جلوگیری کردن.
How is the noun jelogiri (prevention) formed?
It is built from جلو (front or ahead) and گیری (the noun form of taking or catching, derived from the verb گرفتن). Literally, it means "taking the front." If you step in front of something to block its path, you are preventing it, which is exactly how this word came to mean "prevention."
Is there a difference between using yekdigar and hamdigar for "each other" here?
They mean the exact same thing and are grammatically interchangeable. However, یکدیگر is slightly more formal and literary than همدیگر. Using یکدیگر here perfectly matches the professional, serious tone of discussing colleagues and workplace burnout.
Why is the final verb konand instead of mikonand?
The sentence starts with the modal verb باید (must). In Farsi, verbs that follow باید must be conjugated in the subjunctive mood, which usually means dropping the indicative می prefix and often adding a ب (though compound verbs with کردن typically just drop the می and use the bare stem). Since the subject همکاران (colleagues) is third-person plural, the verb becomes کنند.
