Questions & Answers about قبل از کلاس، کتاب پرفروش را ویرایش کردم، اگرچه خسته بودم.
Why do we use the simple past tense budam after agarche instead of a subjunctive form?
Conjunctions like agarche (although) state facts or realities, not hypotheticals. Because you were actually tired in the past, you use the standard indicative past tense budam (I was), not a subjunctive form.
How does the word por-forush translate to best-selling?
The word por-forush is made of por (full of or much) and forush (selling or sales). In Farsi, saying a book is much-selling is the standard way to express that it is a best-seller.
Why is the object marker râ placed after por-forush instead of right after ketâb?
The marker râ must come at the very end of the entire noun phrase it marks. Since ketâb-e por-forush (the best-selling book) acts as a single specific direct object, râ tags along right after the adjective.
What makes up the verb virâyesh kardam in this sentence?
It is a compound verb made of the noun virâyesh (editing or revision) and the light verb kardan (to do). Here it is in the simple past tense, so kard (did) gets the I ending -am to become kardam.
