From Lesson 467:Markers of resumption (be har hâl, dar har surat)·Farsi

Questions & Answers about خلاصه، من می‌خواهم جلسه را جمع‌بندی کنم.

How does kholâseh fit into this lesson's theme of resumption and dismissal?
While the lesson focuses on be har hâl and dar har surat ("in any case" / "anyway"), kholâseh functions very similarly in conversation. Literally meaning "summary" or "in short", it is frequently used as a discourse marker to dismiss previous rambling points, cut a long story short, or bring the group's attention back to the main agenda to wrap things up.
What are the roots of the compound verb jam'-bandi kardan?
jam' comes from Arabic meaning "addition", "gathering", or "plural", and bandi relates to binding or organizing things into categories. Together, jam'-bandi kardan means "to summarize", "to conclude", or "to wrap up", and is the perfect professional term to use at the end of a meeting or presentation.
Why does jam'-bandi kardan conjugate to the subjunctive konam here?
Because it follows the verb mikhâham (I want). In Farsi, when you express a desire, intention, or ability to do an action, the second verb must be in the present subjunctive mood. So, the indicative mikonam (I do) becomes the subjunctive konam (that I do).
Why is râ placed immediately after jaleseh instead of at the very end of the sentence?
The object marker râ always attaches directly to the definite direct object it modifies. Here, the direct object is jaleseh (the meeting), so râ must follow it immediately. It cannot be separated from its noun by the verb phrase jam'-bandi konam.
