Questions & Answers about هر جرمی مورد پیگرد و توبیخ قرار میگیرد.
How does the formal passive structure "moured-e ... qarâr gereftan" handle two nouns at once here?
The ezafe on moured-e simply links to the entire combined noun phrase. Here, that phrase is peygard va toubikh (prosecution and reprimand). The single verb qarâr mi-girad at the end wraps around both nouns, elegantly translating to "undergoes prosecution and reprimand" without needing to repeat any words.
Why is there an "-i" attached to "jorm" (crime) right after "har" (every)?
When using har (every/each) with a singular noun, Farsi often adds the indefinite suffix -i to emphasize "every single one." In this sentence, har jorm-i stresses that absolutely every single crime is subject to these consequences, leaving no exceptions.
How would this sentence look if we used the standard "shodan" passive instead of this formal structure?
You would drop moured-e and qarâr mi-girad, and directly use the passive auxiliary shodan with the nouns. It would become har jorm-i peygard va toubikh mi-shavad. The structure used in the example sentence means the exact same thing but sounds much more professional, typical of a news report or legal text.
Is there an Ezafe between "peygard" and "toubikh"?
No. The only Ezafe in this block is on moured-e. The words peygard and toubikh are connected by the conjunction va (and). In natural speech, this va is usually pronounced as an "o" sound, making the phrase sound like .
