Questions & Answers about شما باید لکههای قهوهی ریخته را پاک کنید.
How is ریخته formed and what is its role in this sentence?
ریخته is a past participle used as an adjective meaning spilled. As you learned in this lesson, you make it by taking the past stem of the verb ریختن (to spill), which is ریخت, and adding ه (-e) to the end.
Why are there ی endings on both لکهها and قهوه?
They are linked by an ezafe chain connecting the nouns and the adjective: stains of spilled coffee. Because both لکهها (stains) and قهوه (coffee) end in a vowel, they use the written ی (-ye) to connect to the next word, instead of the invisible short e vowel.
Why does the direct object marker را come after ریخته?
The word را marks a specific direct object, but it always goes at the very end of the entire noun phrase. Since the complete object here is لکههای قهوهی ریخته (the stains of the spilled coffee), را waits until after the adjective ریخته to appear.
Why does پاک کنید look like a command here?
پاک کنید is actually in the subjunctive mood here, which shares the same form as the imperative (command) for most verbs. The word باید (must) requires the main action verb at the end of the sentence to be in the subjunctive form.
