Questions & Answers about اگر آن ابرقهرمان اینجا بود، شرور دیگری را پیدا میکرد.
Why do we use past tense verbs like بود and پیدا میکرد to talk about something happening right now?
This sentence is an unreal present conditional (imagining something that isn't true right now). In Farsi, just like in English, we use past tense verbs to show that the situation is imaginary. The 'if' part uses the simple past (بود) and the result part uses the past continuous (پیدا میکرد).
Doesn't پیدا میکرد usually mean 'was finding'?
Yes, the past continuous tense (made with the prefix می attached to a simple past verb) normally means an ongoing action in the past. However, in the second half of an 'unreal' conditional sentence, this exact same tense is used to mean 'would do' something. Here, it translates to 'would find'.
How is the word ابرقهرمان (superhero) formed?
It is a compound word. ابر means 'super' (it can also mean 'cloud' in other contexts), and قهرمان means 'hero' or 'champion'. Put them together, and you get 'superhero'.
How does شرور دیگری break down to mean 'another villain'?
شرور means 'villain' or 'wicked'. The word دیگر means 'other'. When you add the indefinite suffix ی at the end of it, it becomes دیگری, meaning 'another'. They are connected by the invisible 'ezafe' vowel, so it is pronounced 'sharur-e digari'.
