Questions & Answers about به نظر میرسد که خانم رضایی کارشناس اقتصاد است.
Why is there an Ezafe between خانم (khânom) and رضایی (rezâ'i)? Doesn't an Ezafe usually show possession or description?
This is what is known as the Explanatory Ezafe. In Farsi, when you put a title before someone's name (like Mr., Ms., Dr., or Professor), you link the title and the name with an Ezafe. So خانم رضایی (khânom-e rezâ'i) does not mean "Rezaei's lady" or "a Rezaei lady"—it simply means "Ms. Rezaei."
Is the Ezafe in کارشناس اقتصاد (kârshenâs-e eqtesâd) doing the same thing as the one in خانم رضایی?
Not quite. While they sound identical when spoken, the Ezafe in کارشناس اقتصاد is your standard Ezafe showing a relationship or description—literally "expert of economics." The Ezafe in خانم رضایی specifically functions to link a formal title to a proper noun.
How does به نظر میرسد literally translate to "it seems"?
Literally, it means "it arrives to view." The noun نظر (nazar) means "view," "sight," or "opinion," and میرسد (mi-resad) is the third-person singular present of رسیدن (rasidan), meaning "to arrive." This phrase is the standard impersonal way to say "it seems" or "it appears" in Farsi.
Can I say به نظر من میرسد to mean "it seems to me"?
Yes, exactly! You can insert a pronoun after نظر to specify whose view it is. به نظر من میرسد means "it seems to me" or "in my opinion, it appears." In this sentence, without a pronoun, it acts as a general "it seems."
