Questions & Answers about بهطور خلاصه، راهبرد بلندمدت رضایتبخش است.
Why is be-tor-e added to kholâse here instead of just starting the sentence with kholâse?
kholâse on its own usually functions as a noun meaning "summary" or an adjective meaning "brief". By adding be-tor-e (literally "by way of" or "in the manner of"), you turn it into a clear discourse marker meaning "in summary" or "briefly". Using be-tor-e is a standard Farsi formula for creating adverbs, much like adding "-ly" to an adjective in English.
How is the adjective rezâyat-bakhsh (satisfactory) constructed?
It is a compound adjective made of rezâyat (satisfaction) and bakhsh, which is the present stem of the verb bakhshidan (to give, to bestow). Literally, it means "satisfaction-giving". Recognizing the -bakhsh suffix is very helpful at the B2 level, as it is attached to many nouns to create adjectives, such as elhâm-bakhsh (inspiring).
I usually see boland translated as "tall" or "loud". Why is it used for "long-term" in boland-moddat?
While boland commonly means "tall" (for physical objects) or "loud" (for sounds), it is also the standard word used for a "long" duration of time when paired with time-related words. moddat means "period" or "duration". If you wanted to state the opposite ("short-term"), you would use kutâh (short) to make the compound kutâh-moddat.
Is râhbord more common than the loanword strâtezhi?
râhbord is the formal, native Farsi equivalent of "strategy". You will encounter it very frequently in formal contexts like business reports, news, and academic writing. In casual, everyday conversation, Iranians often still use the loanword , but in written conclusions like this one, is heavily preferred.
