Questions & Answers about گوشت منقضی باید مورد معدومسازی قرار گرفته باشد.
How exactly does the moured-e ... qarâr gereftan structure work in this sentence?
This structure translates literally to "to be placed in the subject/case of...". Here, moured-e (subject of) is followed by the abstract noun ma'dum-sâzi (destruction), and closed with the verb qarâr gereftan (to get/take placement). It's a formal, journalistic way to create a passive meaning ("to be subjected to destruction") without using the standard Farsi passive with shodan.
Why is the verb qarâr gerefte bâshad rather than just qarâr begirad?
The word bâyad (must) requires a subjunctive verb. Because this sentence describes an action that needs to already be completed by a certain point of reference ("must have been subjected"), it uses the perfect subjunctive (gerefte bâshad) instead of the present subjunctive (begirad).
How is the noun ma'dum-sâzi formed?
It is made of the Arabic-derived adjective ma'dum (destroyed or non-existent) and the Persian suffix -sâzi (the act of making, from sâkhtan). Together, they form an abstract noun meaning "the act of destroying" or "eradication". Creating verbal nouns like this is very common when you need a noun to fit into the formal moured-e passive structure.
Is monghazi the standard word for "expired"?
Yes, monghazi is the standard, slightly formal word for things that have a set expiration date, like food, medicine, passports, or contracts. In everyday, informal speech, you will also frequently hear târikh-gozashte (literally "date-passed") to describe expired food.
