Questions & Answers about آنها هرگز از فلفل استفاده نمیکنند.
Why is the verb negative (نمیکنند) if هرگز already means "never"?
In Farsi, negative adverbs like هرگز require a double negative! You must always pair them with a negative verb. So, literally, you are saying "They never do not use pepper."
Why is the word از (from) right before فلفل (pepper)?
The compound verb استفاده کردن (to use) needs the preposition از to connect to its object. In Farsi, you don't just use something; you "make use from" something.
Could I use هیچوقت instead of هرگز in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely! هیچوقت and هرگز both mean "never" and are mostly interchangeable. هرگز sounds just a little bit more formal or literary, while هیچوقت is very common in everyday spoken Farsi.
Where does هرگز belong in the sentence order?
Adverbs of time like هرگز generally come early in the sentence, typically right after the subject (آنها). Putting it at the very end of the sentence, like you sometimes can in English, sounds unnatural in Farsi.
