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.
