Questions & Answers about بچه هیچوقت قارچ و فلفل نمیخورد.
Why is the verb نمیخورد negative when the English translation says 'never eats'?
In Farsi, words like هیچوقت (never) require a negative verb to complete the meaning. This creates a double negative that is grammatically correct in Farsi. You are literally saying 'The child at no time doesn't eat,' which translates to English as 'never eats'.
What is the literal breakdown of the word هیچوقت?
It is made up of two parts: هیچ meaning 'no' or 'none', and وقت meaning 'time'. Together, they literally mean 'at no time'.
Why are قارچ and فلفل singular in Farsi if the English translation says 'mushrooms and peppers'?
In Farsi, when you talk about a general category of things—like types of food you do or don't eat—the noun usually stays singular. You only use plural endings if you are talking about specific, countable mushrooms or peppers.
How is the verb نمیخورد built to show a habit?
It uses the present tense prefix می which shows a regular habit or ongoing action. To make it negative, the prefix نـ is added right before it, turning it into نمیخورد (does not eat).
