Life as a freelance artist (آزادکار) often brings financial concerns (دغدغههای مالی).
| Life as a freelance artist is full of financial concerns. | زندگی به عنوان یک هنرمند آزادکار پر از دغدغههای مالی است.zendegi be onvân-e yek honarmand-e âzâdkâr por az daghdaghe-hâ-ye mâli ast. |
| I struggle to pay the basic expenses. | من برای پرداخت کردن هزینههای اولیه تقلا میکنم.man barâye pardâkht kardan hazine-hâye avvaliye taqallâ mikonam. |
Scaled Improbability: "Let alone..."
To express that something is impossible because even a much simpler task is unachievable ("let alone" or "not to mention"), use the conjunction چه برسد به اینکه.
Because the action following this phrase is hypothetical and unrealized, the verb in the second clause takes the Present Subjunctive mood.
| I cannot pay my basic expenses, let alone rent a studio! | من نمیتوانم هزینههای اولیه را پرداخت کنم، چه برسد به اینکه یک آتلیه اجاره کنم!man nemitavânam hazine-hâye avvaliye râ pardâkht konam, che beresad be inke yek âtelye ejâre konam! |
| His income from painting is meager, let alone buying a large studio! | درآمد او از نقاشی ناچیز است، چه برسد به اینکه یک آتلیه بزرگ بخرد.darâmad-e u az naqqâshi nâchiz ast, che beresad be inke yek âtelye bozorg bekharad. |
This structure works perfectly when complaining about lacking the financial stability (ثبات) required for luxury (لوکس) expenses.
| Freelancers do not have financial stability, let alone buying luxury things. | آزادکارها ثبات مالی ندارند، چه برسد به اینکه چیزهای لوکس بخرند.âzâdkârhâ sabât mâli nadârand, che beresad be inke chizhâye loks bekharand. |
| I cannot afford the rent of the apartment, let alone go on a luxury trip. | من از پس اجارهبهای آپارتمان برنمیآیم، چه برسد به اینکه به یک سفر لوکس بروم.man az pas ejâre-bahâ-ye âpârtemân bar-nemi-âyam, che beresad be inke be yek safar-e luks beravam. |
The Spoken Form
In casual, spoken Farsi, the formal verb برسد softens into برسه, making the phrase چه برسه به اینکه.
| He doesn't have money for his basic needs, let alone buy a house! | اون واسه نیازهای اولیه پول نداره، چه برسه به اینکه خونه بخره!oon vâse niâzhâye avvaliye pul nadâre, che berese be inke khune bekhare! |
