Questions & Answers about آیا پرسنل دلیل موجهی آوردند؟
Why does the sentence use the verb âvardand (they brought) instead of a verb like "to give"?
In Farsi, the natural collocation for providing or presenting a reason is dalil âvardan (literally "to bring a reason"). While English speakers say "to give a reason," using dâdan (to give) here would sound unnatural to a native speaker.
How does the indefinite article work in the phrase dalil-e movajjahi?
The indefinite marker -i (meaning "a" or "an") attaches to the very end of a noun phrase. Here, we have the noun dalil (reason) linked to the adjective movajjah (justified) with an ezâfe. Instead of attaching to the noun, the -i attaches to the adjective at the end, creating dalil-e movajjahi (a justified reason).
The word personel doesn't have a plural suffix. Why does it take the plural verb âvardand?
Even though personel (a loanword from the French "personnel") doesn't have a Farsi plural suffix like -hâ or -ân, it acts as a collective noun referring to a group of people. In Farsi, animate collective nouns often take a plural verb to emphasize the multiple individuals acting within the group.
What is the exact meaning and nuance of the word movajjah?
Movajjah is a formal adjective that means "justified", "valid", or "acceptable". When paired with words like dalil (reason) or ozr (excuse), it specifically implies that the reasoning provided is logically sound, legitimate, and formally acceptable.
