Questions & Answers about هنوز بیخوابی دارم، پس لازم است که متخصص را ببینم.
How does hanuz translate to 'still' here, and what would it mean if the verb were negative?
In Farsi, hanuz means 'still' when it is paired with an affirmative verb, like daram (I have) in this sentence. If the verb were negative, such as nadaram (I don't have), hanuz would translate to 'not yet' or 'yet'.
How is the word bi-khabi (insomnia) constructed?
It is built from three parts: the prefix bi- meaning 'without', the root word khab meaning 'sleep', and the suffix -i which is used to form abstract nouns. Literally, it translates to 'without-sleep-ness'.
Why does the sentence use bebinam instead of the regular present tense mibinam?
The phrase lazem ast ke (it is necessary that) requires the following verb to be in the present subjunctive mood. The subjunctive is used for actions that are desired, necessary, or uncertain. We form it here by replacing the usual mi- prefix with the subjunctive be- prefix on the present stem -bin-.
Why do we need the word ra after motakhasses (specialist)?
The word ra is the specific direct object marker. Because the speaker is referring to a specific specialist they need to see ('the specialist' rather than just 'a specialist'), ra must follow the noun.
