Questions & Answers about از یک سو به کشاورزی نیاز دارند و از سوی دیگر کمبود آب اجتنابناپذیر است.
Why is there an ezafe in az su-ye digar but not in az yek su?
yek is a number coming before the noun su (side), which does not require an ezafe to connect. However, digar (other) acts as an adjective following the noun. Since su ends in a vowel, the ezafe takes the form of a -ye sound to link them together.
Why is the preposition be used before keshāvarzi?
The compound verb niyāz dāshtan (to have a need) always takes the preposition be (to) for its object. In Farsi, you literally say they have a need to agriculture.
How does the word ejtenāb-nāpazir (inevitable) break down?
It breaks down into three parts. ejtenāb means avoidance. The suffix -pazir comes from the verb paziroftan (to accept) and acts like the English suffix -able. The prefix nā- makes it negative. Literally, it means not accepting avoidance.
Could we use taraf instead of su to say on the one hand, on the other hand?
Yes, su and taraf are completely interchangeable in this structure. You can say az yek taraf ... va az taraf-e digar. Using taraf is slightly more common in everyday spoken Farsi, while su sounds a bit more formal or journalistic.
