Questions & Answers about ما پلاستیک تولید نخواهیم کرد و محیط زیست را نابود نخواهیم کرد.
Where exactly does the future tense helper verb go when we use compound verbs like "towlid kardan" (to produce)?
In Farsi compound verbs, the helper verb splits the two parts of the compound. The conjugated negative helper نخواهیم (we will not) goes right after the noun/adjective part (تولید or نابود) and right before the short infinitive (کرد). So, تولید کردن (to produce) becomes تولید نخواهیم کرد.
How exactly is نخواهیم (nakhâhim) formed here?
To make the negative future tense, you take the present tense conjugation of خواستن (to want) and add the negative prefix نـ (na-). For "we" (first person plural), خواهیم becomes نخواهیم. You always place this before the short infinitive of your main verb.
Why is there a را (râ) after "environment" (محیط زیست) but not after "plastic" (پلاستیک)? Both are objects of the sentence!
The word را is only used to mark specific or definite direct objects (often translated with "the" or "this/that"). The sentence talks about the environment, which is a specific thing, so it requires را. "Plastic" is used generally here—meaning plastic in general, not the plastic—so it doesn't take را.
Why is the main verb just کرد at the end of each clause instead of کردیم (we did/do)?
In the future tense, only the helper verb (نخواهیم) is conjugated to match the subject ("we"). The main verb always stays in its "short infinitive" form. You find the short infinitive by dropping the final ـن (n) from the full infinitive کردن (to do/make). This short form (کرد) never changes, no matter who is doing the action.
Is there a hidden sound between the two words in "environment" (محیط زیست)?
Yes! They are connected by a hidden "e" sound called an ezafe, so it is pronounced mohit-e zist. Literally, it means "surroundings of living" (محیط = environment/surroundings, زیست = living/life).
