You walk into the kitchen, and it is an absolute disaster. To figure out who caused this, you will need to make some deductions.
| Someone must have made a mess in the kitchen. | کسی باید در آشپزخانه کثیفکاری کرده باشد.kasi bâyad dar âshpazkhâne kasif-kâri karde bâshad. |
To express logical probability in the past (saying someone must have done something), use باید (must) followed by the Present Perfect Subjunctive (ماضی التزامی).
Forming the Present Perfect Subjunctive
The formula is: Past Participle (Past Stem + ه) + Subjunctive of بودن (to be)
| Pronoun | Auxiliary | Example: رفتن (to go) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| من | باشم | رفته باشم | I have gone |
| تو | باشی | رفته باشی | You have gone |
| او / آن | باشد | رفته باشد | He/She/It has gone |
| ما | باشیم | رفته باشیم | We have gone |
| شما | باشید | رفته باشید | You have gone |
| آنها | باشند | رفته باشند | They have gone |
Making Past Deductions
Place باید before the Present Perfect Subjunctive to mean must have [verb]-ed.
| The soup must have boiled over. | سوپ باید سر رفته باشد.sup bâyad sar rafte bâshad. |
| This sticky stain must have been jam. | این لکهی چسبناک باید مربا بوده باشد.in lekke-ye chasbnâk bâyad morabbâ bude bâshad. |
| He must have put the frying pan in the sink. | او باید ماهیتابه را در سینک گذاشته باشد.u bâyad mâhi-tâbe râ dar sink gozâshte bâshad. |
You can use this structure with any verb to follow the trail of clues.
