Questions & Answers about رویهمرفته، حتی گزارش نهایی هم رضایتبخش نیست.
What is the literal meaning of ru-ye ham rafte, and how does it function in this sentence?
Literally, it means 'gone on top of each other' (from ru-ye, on; ham, each other; rafte, gone). In discourse, it is a set phrase meaning 'on the whole' or 'all things considered.' We use it at the beginning of a sentence to signal that we are giving a final summary or conclusion.
Why are both hatta and ham used together here?
While hatta alone means 'even', Farsi speakers commonly pair it with ham (also/too) placed immediately after the noun phrase being emphasized. This hatta ... ham structure strongly emphasizes the surprising nature of the fact, bracketing the noun phrase to mean 'even the final report'.
What is the structure of the word rezâyat-bakhsh?
It is a compound adjective formed from the noun rezâyat (satisfaction) and the present stem bakhsh (giving/bestowing, from the verb bakhshidan). Together, they literally mean 'satisfaction-giving', which naturally translates to 'satisfactory'.
Where is the ezâfe pronounced in the phrase gozâresh-e nahâyi ham?
There is only one ezâfe here: between the noun and its adjective, pronounced as gozâresh-e nahâyi (the final report). You do not add an ezâfe before ham, because ham is a separate particle, not an adjective modifying the report.
