Questions & Answers about لطفاً اسم و نام خانوادگی را در فرم بنویسید.
How is the formal command بنویسید (benevisid) built?
It follows the rule for formal or plural commands: add the prefix be- to the present stem of the verb, then add the ending -id. The verb is "to write" (neveshtan), its present stem is nevis, so we get be- + nevis + -id = benevisid.
The English translation says "your" first name and surname, but I don't see a word for "your" in the Farsi text. Why is that?
In Farsi, if the owner of an object is completely obvious from the context, you don't always need to include the possessive ending (like -etān for formal "your"). Since you are being told to write the name, it is naturally assumed to be yours.
Why is the object marker را (rā) placed where it is?
را (rā) marks the specific direct object of the verb. The specific thing you need to write is the entire phrase "first name and surname" (اسم و نام خانوادگی). Therefore, را goes right at the end of that whole block of words.
What is the double-dash symbol over the last letter in لطفاً (lotfan)?
That symbol is called a tanvin. It is a pronunciation rule borrowed from Arabic that makes an "an" sound at the end of a word. Because of this, the word is pronounced lotfan rather than "lotfā".
How do the words in نام خانوادگی (nām-e khānevādegi) connect?
They are linked by an ezafe—a short "e" sound that connects a noun to an adjective or possessor. Here, it connects نام (nām, meaning "name") to خانوادگی (khānevādegi, meaning "familial"). It is usually not written in the Farsi script, but you must pronounce it to link the words properly.
