Questions & Answers about من میخواهم که این طرح بد زود محو شود.
Why do we use شود (shavad) here instead of the regular present tense میشود (mi-shavad)?
After verbs expressing a wish, desire, or necessity like میخواهم (I want), Farsi uses the word که (that) followed by the Present Subjunctive. This is the exact same subjunctive mood you are practicing with verbs of duration in this lesson! Here, شود is the subjunctive form of the helper verb شدن.
How do we know the phrase means "this bad design" and not "this design is bad"?
The phrase این طرح بد uses the unseen ezafe vowel to link the noun to its adjective, pronounced as tarh-e bad. If the sentence meant "this design is bad", it would need the "to be" verb at the end of the phrase: این طرح بد است (in tarh bad ast).
What kind of verb is محو شود and how does it conjugate?
This is a compound verb made from the word محو (fade) and the Farsi helper verb شدن (to become). When conjugating compound verbs, only the helper verb changes. So to form the subjunctive, محو stays exactly the same, and شدن becomes شود.
Does the word که (ke) always have to be translated?
In Farsi, که acts like the English word "that" to connect two clauses. While in English we often drop it and just say "I want this design to fade", Farsi strongly prefers keeping که when connecting a verb like "want" to the subjunctive action that follows.
