Questions & Answers about شما باید برای لذت بردن از فرهنگ محلی به شهری دیگر بروید.
Why does the word for city have an 'i' at the end in شهری دیگر?
The -i at the end of شهر (shahr) is the indefinite marker, meaning 'a'. When combined with دیگر (digar, meaning 'other'), شهری دیگر translates to 'another city' (literally 'a city, other'). This is the standard way to express 'another [noun]' in Farsi.
Why is there an از (from) after لذت بردن?
In Farsi, the compound verb لذت بردن literally means 'to take pleasure'. To say you enjoy something, you must express that you take pleasure 'from' it. Therefore, it always pairs with the preposition از.
Why did we use the full infinitive لذت بردن right after برای?
When you want to say 'in order to do something' or 'for doing something', you can use the preposition برای (for) followed directly by the infinitive form of the verb. Here, برای لذت بردن means 'for enjoying' or 'in order to enjoy'.
Why is the final verb بروید instead of the regular present tense?
This happens because of the word باید (must) near the beginning of the sentence. In Farsi, verbs following باید must be in the subjunctive mood. So, the regular present tense میروید drops its می prefix and takes the subjunctive ب prefix, becoming بروید.
