Questions & Answers about هیچکس در این کلاس بدی را انتخاب نکرد.
How is the word badi (evil) formed in this sentence?
It is made by adding the suffix -i to the adjective bad (bad). This stressed suffix turns an adjective into an abstract noun. So, bad becomes badi, meaning "badness" or "evil".
Why is the verb negative (nakard) when the sentence already starts with hich-kas (no one)?
In Farsi, sentences using "hich" words like hich-kas (nobody) or hich-chiz (nothing) must always be paired with a negative verb. It translates literally as "Nobody did not choose," which is the standard grammatical way to express "Nobody chose" in Farsi.
Why do we use the direct object marker râ after the abstract noun badi?
Even though badi (evil) is an abstract concept, the speaker is treating it as a specific, definite choice that was available to the class. Whenever a direct object is definite or specific in the context of the sentence, it needs the râ marker, even if it is an abstract noun.
What tense is the verb entekhâb nakard, and why doesn't it have a personal ending?
It is the negative simple past tense of the compound verb entekhâb kardan (to choose). It doesn't have a visible personal ending (like -am or -im) because the subject hich-kas (no one) acts as a third-person singular noun, which takes no suffix in the past tense.
