Questions & Answers about این کافه باید مورد رتبهبندی قرار بگیرد.
How does the formal passive structure work in this specific sentence?
The structure moured-e plus an abstract noun plus qarâr gereftan is a formal way to express the passive voice. Here, the abstract noun is rotbe-bandi (grading or ranking). Instead of using a standard passive verb, the sentence literally says the cafe must take place as the subject of grading: moured-e rotbe-bandi qarâr begirad.
Why is the verb begirad used here instead of its infinitive form gereftan?
The modal verb bâyad (must) requires the verb that follows it to be in the subjunctive mood. The present stem of gereftan is gir, which takes the subjunctive prefix be- and the third-person singular ending -ad to match the cafe, resulting in begirad.
What does the word moured literally mean, and how does it connect to the next word?
The word moured literally translates to a case, instance, or object of something. It connects to the abstract noun rotbe-bandi using an ezafe, which is the short e sound linking nouns. Thus, moured-e rotbe-bandi literally means the object of grading.
Could we say this using the standard Farsi passive instead?
Yes, you could use the standard passive by combining the past participle of the verb with the auxiliary verb shodan (to become). However, the moured-e structure used here sounds much more formal, bureaucratic, or journalistic, making it perfect for official reviews or formal recommendations.
