Questions & Answers about اگر برگزارکننده کنسرت را لغو کند، من شکایت میکنم.
Why is the verb laghv konad (cancels) in the subjunctive form here?
In Farsi, when you use agar (if) for a possible future event, the verb in the 'if' part of the sentence takes the present subjunctive form. That is why we use laghv konad instead of the regular present tense laghv mikonad.
How is the word bargozâr-konande (organizer) built?
It comes from the verb bargozâr kardan (to organize or hold an event). By dropping kardan and adding the suffix -konande (which means 'doer' or 'maker'), it literally becomes 'the one who organizes'.
Why does the English translation say 'I will complain' when shekâyat mikonam is in the present tense?
In Farsi, the regular present tense (which uses the mi- prefix) is frequently used to talk about the future, especially for the result of an 'if' sentence. Here, shekâyat mikonam naturally translates to 'I will complain'.
Why is râ used after konsert?
The word râ marks the specific direct object of a sentence. Since the organizer is canceling a specific concert ('the' concert, not just any concert), we use râ right after konsert to show it receives the action of the verb.
