Questions & Answers about در مجموع، مدیران این طرح جامع را سودآور میدانند.
How exactly does dar majmu' function at the start of this sentence?
dar majmu' literally means 'in total' or 'in the collection'. As taught in this lesson, it acts as a discourse marker meaning 'overall' or 'altogether'. Putting it at the very beginning of the sentence signals to the listener that you are summarizing previously discussed details to deliver a final verdict or conclusion.
I thought midânand meant 'they know'. Why is it translated here as 'they consider'?
While the verb dânestan primarily means 'to know', it takes on a different meaning in the specific structure [noun] + râ + [adjective] + dânestan. This structure means to consider, deem, or judge something to be a certain way. So, tarh râ sudâvar midânand literally translates as 'they know the plan as profitable', which in natural English is 'they consider the plan profitable'.
Why is the direct object marker râ placed after jâme' rather than right after tarh (plan)?
The marker râ must always follow the entire noun phrase that serves as the definite direct object. Here, the object isn't just the noun tarh, but the whole modified phrase connected by the ezafe: in tarh-e jâme' (this comprehensive plan). Therefore, râ anchors itself to the very end of that block.
How is the word sudâvar (profitable) formed?
It is a compound adjective made up of sud (profit or interest) and âvar, which is the present stem of the verb âvardan (to bring). Together, they literally mean 'profit-bringing'.
