Questions & Answers about آیا تعرفهی جدید شامل عضویت میشود؟
Why do we use میشود (mi-shavad) instead of a single verb for 'include'?
Farsi does not have a simple transitive verb for 'to include'. Instead, it uses the active prepositional predicate shâmel (including) plus a light verb. When paired with shodan (to become), shâmel-e... mi-shavad literally means 'becomes including of...', which we translate as 'includes'.
Is there a spoken connecting sound between شامل (shâmel) and عضویت (ozviyyat)?
Yes, you must use the ezafe vowel, pronouncing the phrase as shâmel-e ozviyyat. Even though it is not physically written in the sentence, the preposition shâmel always requires this connector to link to the noun or pronoun that is being included.
Could I say شامل عضویت است (shâmel-e ozviyyat ast) instead?
Absolutely. Using the copula ast (is) describes a static state: 'is inclusive of membership'. Using mi-shavad makes it slightly more active, which is very natural when discussing how new rules, rates, or policies apply. Both work perfectly here.
How do you pronounce and connect the noun تعرفهی (tarefe-ye) in everyday speech?
It is formally pronounced ta'refe-ye, with a slight glottal stop for the letter 'ayn. In casual Farsi, that stop is often dropped. Notice that because the word tarefe ends in a spoken vowel, the required ezafe takes the form of a 'ye' sound to connect it to the adjective jadid (new).
