Questions & Answers about وقتی که بذرها را کاشتهاید، باید صبر کنید.
Why doesn't vaghti ke take the subjunctive mood here?
Vaghti ke means "when" and connects the two parts of the sentence. Unlike conjunctions that express doubt or desire, vaghti ke usually takes the normal indicative mood when it describes a real event or established fact, which is why we use the indicative kāshte-id (you have planted).
How is the verb kāshte-id built?
It means "you have planted" and is in the present perfect tense. To make it, you take the past stem of the verb kāshtan (to plant), add -e to make the past participle kāshte, and then add the personal ending -id for "you" (plural or formal).
Why is the word rā used right after bazrhā?
Rā marks a specific direct object. Because the sentence refers to "the seeds" (the specific ones you planted) rather than just "seeds" in general, rā is required here.
Why does sabr konid drop the mi- prefix?
It drops the mi- prefix because it is in the subjunctive mood. The word bāyad (must) always forces the verb that comes after it to be in the subjunctive. So, the indicative sabr mikonid (you wait) becomes the subjunctive sabr konid.
