Questions & Answers about ترسیدن از پرواز برای او یک مشکل است.
How do I find the past stem of the verb ترسیدن (to fear) used in this sentence?
To find the past stem of any Farsi infinitive, you simply drop the final ن at the end of the word. For ترسیدن, dropping the ن gives you the past stem ترسید. You will use this stem as the building block for all past tense verbs.
Why is the full infinitive ترسیدن used at the beginning of the sentence instead of a conjugated verb?
In Farsi, you can use the full infinitive just like a noun to express the idea of an action, similar to "-ing" words in English. Here, ترسیدن acts as the subject of the sentence, meaning "fearing" or "the act of fearing".
Why do we use از after ترسیدن? The translation says "fearing the flight", not "fearing from".
Verbs in Farsi often pair with specific prepositions that don't match English exactly. The verb ترسیدن (to fear) always takes the preposition از (from). So literally, Farsi speakers say they fear from something.
Could او in this sentence also mean "her"?
Yes! The pronoun او is completely gender-neutral and means both "he" and "she" (or after a preposition like برای, "him" and "her"). You rely entirely on the context of the conversation to know who is being talked about.
