Questions & Answers about مردم فکر می‌کنند که جغد شانس بد می‌آورد.

How does the word که work in this sentence?
که means "that" and acts as a bridge between the thinking verb (فکر می‌کنند) and the thought itself. Whenever you use verbs related to speaking, thinking, or knowing, you will usually use که to introduce the rest of the sentence.
Why does مردم (people) take the plural verb فکر می‌کنند?
In Farsi, the word مردم is treated as a plural noun, so it requires the third-person plural verb ending -ند. This is similar to English, where we say "people think" (plural) rather than "people thinks".
How do we link the words for "luck" and "bad" in شانس بد?
You need to use the ezafe vowel, pronouncing it as shāns-e bad. Even though it is not written, this short "e" sound is required to connect a noun to its describing adjective.
What is the infinitive form of the verb می‌آورد (brings)?
The infinitive is آوردن (to bring). To make the present tense for the owl (جغد), we take the present stem آور, add the present prefix می‌ at the start, and the third-person singular ending at the end.
