Questions & Answers about در مجموع، درآمد بلندمدت شرکت رو به کاهش است.
How does dar majmu' function here, and could I use ru-ye ham rafte instead?
Yes, dar majmu' means overall or in total, and it works very similarly to ru-ye ham rafte (on the whole). Both are excellent discourse markers for introducing a summary at the start of a clause. However, dar majmu' sounds slightly more formal and analytical, making it the most natural choice for a business context like this one.
Why does the sentence use ru be kâhesh instead of a continuous verb to mean is decreasing?
The phrase ru be literally means facing towards. When you combine it with a verbal noun like kâhesh (decrease), it describes an evolving state or trend: facing a decrease or in the process of decreasing. This is a very common and natural way in Farsi to describe ongoing trends without using continuous verb tenses.
How is the compound adjective boland-moddat (long-term) formed?
It is simply built by combining boland (tall or long) and moddat (duration or period). This is a highly productive pattern in Farsi for timeframes, so you will also frequently see kutâh-moddat (short-term) and miyân-moddat (medium-term) used in similar contexts.
Where exactly do the ezafe links go in the phrase for the company's long-term income?
The ezafe links the head noun to its adjective, and then the whole noun phrase to its possessor. You place one after darâmad to link the adjective boland-moddat, and another one after boland-moddat to link the possessor sherekat. As a result, the full spoken phrase is darâmad-e boland-moddat-e sherekat.
