Bangla to Persian: the ownership link belongs in a different noun-phrase pattern
A source genitive ending is not a Persian suffix recipe
The Bengali teaching grammar describes genitive forms through endings such as -r and -er, with documented noun-specific conditions. Persian ezāfe connects a primary noun to a following owner or modifier. A Bangla ownership phrase therefore needs its relationship interpreted before its target words are arranged.
The University of Texas Persian materials illustrate ketāb-e man for my book. The book precedes the owner reference, joined through the target construction. A translation should not keep the Bangla order and attach an unfamiliar Persian-looking ending to the source possessor. Identify what is owned and who owns it, then build the documented target phrase.
The same link can introduce a description rather than an owner
The Persian lesson also gives film-e xub for a good film. Ezāfe therefore does not always mean ownership. A Bangla phrase describing an object must retain that descriptive relationship rather than have its adjective interpreted as another possessor.
This matters in a longer source noun phrase containing an owner and a quality. The reader needs to know which words identify the item and which describe it. A target chain assembled by matching individual dictionary entries can attach the description to the wrong person or object. Establish the source noun phrase’s internal relationships before joining its Persian elements.
A spoken link may not be visible in ordinary writing
The University of Texas explains that ezāfe after a consonant is normally pronounced without being written, although it can be marked with a diacritic. A Bangla translator should therefore not assume that an unmarked target sequence has omitted the relationship merely because the source visibly marks a genitive.
The opposite mistake is to force a written linking letter after every Persian noun. The target spelling pattern depends on the word’s ending. A source relationship can be fully expressed without the same number of visible grammatical signs, so visual resemblance to Bangla endings is not a reliable quality test.
A respectful source owner remains the same person
The Bengali grammar distinguishes respectful apni from ordinary tumi and documents corresponding possessive reference such as apnar. A source request about the respected listener’s belongings must preserve that person as owner even when the Persian noun phrase is organized differently.
This is useful when a message asks somebody to bring their book and then mentions another person’s notebook. The target ownership links must remain distinct; a fluent ezāfe sequence about the wrong owner still changes the source event. Interpret who is addressed, which person owns each item and which words describe the items. Persian can encode the resulting relationships through one recurring linking construction, but that shared device does not make ownership, description and naming interchangeable meanings.
