Questions & Answers about وقتی که تند میدوم، کالری میسوزانم تا وزن کم کنم.
Why is the last verb کم کنم instead of کم میکنم?
The word تا (in order to / so that) shows your purpose or intention. In Farsi, verbs following تا must be in the present subjunctive form. That is why the compound verb drops the می prefix and takes the subjunctive form کم کنم.
Is the که strictly necessary after وقتی?
No, it is optional! Both وقتی and وقتی که mean "when" used as a conjunction to link two actions. Adding که is very common in conversational Farsi, but leaving it out means the exact same thing.
Can the word تند also mean "spicy"?
Yes, it can! تند is a versatile word. When talking about speed, as in تند میدوم (I run fast), it means "fast" or "quick". When talking about food, it means "spicy" or "hot".
How exactly does وزن کم کنم translate to "lose weight"?
Literally, وزن means "weight" and the compound verb کم کردن means "to decrease" or "to make less". Farsi does not use the word for losing a physical object (like losing your keys) for weight; instead, you "decrease weight".
