Questions & Answers about میخواهم به خاطر مورچهها آن سوراخ را سمپاشی کنم.
Why is the second verb کنم instead of میکنم?
After verbs expressing desire like میخواهم (I want), the second verb goes into the subjunctive mood. For the compound verb سمپاشی کردن (to fumigate), the subjunctive form of کردن for the 'I' form is کنم without the usual می prefix.
What is the literal meaning of سمپاشی?
It is a compound word made of سم (poison) and پاشی (spraying, from the verb root to scatter or splash). So literally, it means 'poison-spraying.'
How do we pronounce and use به خاطر here?
به خاطر (be khater-e) means 'because of' or 'for the sake of.' You must use the invisible Ezāfe sound 'e' to connect it to the noun that follows it, making it 'be khater-e moorche-ha' (because of the ants).
Why is را placed after آن سوراخ?
The word را marks the specific direct object of a sentence. Since the specific thing you want to spray is 'that hole' (آن سوراخ), the marker is placed right after it to show it receives the action of the verb.
