Questions & Answers about او وصیت کرد که هیچکس ارث نبرد.
Why is the verb نبرد in the subjunctive mood?
Because it follows که (that) and the verb وصیت کرد (made a will). Verbs expressing a wish, command, or will require the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood, as it describes an intended outcome rather than a confirmed fact.
What is the literal translation of the verb ارث نبرد?
It comes from the compound verb ارث بردن (ers bordan), which literally means "to take inheritance" or "to carry inheritance". Here, ارث means "inheritance" and the verb is formed from the present stem of بردن (to take), which is بر (bar).
Why is the verb negative (نبرد) if the English translation just says "nobody should inherit"?
Farsi requires double negatives. Whenever you use a negative pronoun like هیچکس (hich-kas - nobody), the main verb must also be negative. So Farsi literally phrases this as "nobody should not inherit."
How do you build the negative subjunctive form نبرد?
The present stem of بردن (bordan - to take) is بر (bar). For the affirmative subjunctive, you add the prefix بـ (be-) to get ببرد (bebarad). To make it negative, you replace the بـ with the negative prefix نـ (na-), which gives us نبرد (nabarad).
