Questions & Answers about خبرنگار بیانیه را خواند.
Why is rā placed right after bayāniye?
The word rā is the definite direct object marker in Farsi. It tells us that bayāniye (the statement) is the specific thing receiving the action of being read. Because the sentence says 'the statement' rather than just 'a statement', rā is required here.
In English, 'read' can be past or present. How do we know which one khānd is?
In Farsi, the past and present forms are completely different. khānd is the simple past tense stem of the verb khāndan (to read), used here as a standalone word for the third-person singular ('he' or 'she' read). If it were present tense ('reads'), it would be mikhanad.
How is the word khabar-negār (reporter) put together?
It is a compound word made of two parts: khabar, which means 'news', and -negār, which is a suffix for someone who writes or records. So, a 'news-writer' translates to a reporter or journalist.
What is the root of the word bayāniye (statement)?
It comes from the word bayān, which means 'expression' or 'explanation'. By adding the suffix -iye, it turns into a formal noun meaning an official 'statement' or 'declaration'.
