Questions & Answers about شهردار عملگرایی را برای مدیریت کردن بحران انتخاب کرد.
How is the word عملگرایی formed, and what exactly does the suffix do?
The word عملگرایی (amal-garâyi) is made from the noun عمل (amal), meaning action or practice, plus the suffix گرایی (-garâyi). This suffix creates abstract nouns describing ideologies, tendencies, or 'isms'. Combined, it literally means action-ism, which gives us 'pragmatism'.
Why do we use the direct object marker را after an abstract concept like عملگرایی?
Even though pragmatism is an abstract noun, it is the direct object of the verb انتخاب کرد (chose). Because the mayor chose this specific concept as his strategy, it is treated as a definite object, requiring را.
How do مدیریت کردن and بحران connect in this sentence?
They are connected by an invisible Ezafe, pronounced 'modiriyat kardan-e bohrân'. When a verbal noun or infinitive like مدیریت کردن (managing) is followed by its object in a phrase, the Ezafe links them, acting much like the English 'of' in 'the managing of the crisis'.
Why do we use the full infinitive مدیریت کردن after برای instead of a subjunctive verb?
The preposition برای (for) acts directly on nouns and infinitives, translating perfectly to 'for managing'. If you wanted to use a subjunctive verb, you would need to change the preposition to the conjunction برای اینکه (so that), resulting in برای اینکه بحران را مدیریت کند.
