Questions & Answers about علیرغم گمانهزنی، پرونده رسماً مختومه اعلام گردید.
How is the word گمانهزنی (speculation) formed?
It is built from گمان (guess or supposition) + the suffix ه + زنی (the noun form of زدن, meaning to hit or strike). Literally implying "striking guesses," it is the standard journalistic term for speculation or estimation.
Does the preposition علیرغم (despite) require an ezafe here?
Yes, when connecting to the noun that follows it, it takes an ezafe. It is pronounced ali-raghm-e gamâneh-zani. This works similarly to با وجودِ (despite / with the existence of).
Why is مختومه used for "closed" instead of the more common word بسته?
مختومه is a specific legal and administrative term used when a file, legal case (پرونده), or dispute is formally concluded. It comes from the Arabic root ختم (end/conclusion). Using بسته here would sound like physically shutting a folder or a door.
Why does the sentence use گردید instead of شد to mean "was"?
The verb گردیدن is a formal, literary equivalent of شدن (to become / to be). In journalism, legal documents, and official announcements, گردید is frequently used instead of شد to form the passive voice. The meaning is identical to اعلام شد (was declared).
How would we say "the case might not have been declared closed" to practice the Negative Present Perfect Subjunctive?
You would change the verb to شاید اعلام نگردیده باشد (or شاید اعلام نشده باشد). This uses the word شاید (might) followed by the negative prefix نـ added to the past participle گردیده, plus the present subjunctive of "to be", which is باشد.
