### Impersonal Possibility

When you want to talk about what is generally allowed or possible in a public space (like "one can" or "it is possible to"), Farsi uses the impersonal verb **می‌شود**.

To form these sentences, combine **می‌شود** with the **short infinitive** of the action verb. You create the short infinitive by dropping the final **ن** from the full infinitive, which makes it identical to the past stem. For example, the short infinitive of **خریدن** (to buy) is **خرید**.

### Expressing Restrictions

To state that something is not allowed or impossible, simply make the impersonal verb negative: **نمی‌شود** (one cannot / it is impossible). The short infinitive that follows does not change.

### Using Compound Verbs

Many Farsi verbs are compound verbs, made of a noun, adjective, or preposition plus a light verb like **گذاشتن** (to put) or **شدن** (to become). When using these compounds with **می‌شود** or **نمی‌شود**, only the light verb changes to the short infinitive. For instance, **امانت گذاشتن** (to check in) becomes **امانت گذاشت** and **خارج شدن** (to exit) becomes **خارج شد**.
