Questions & Answers about با اینکه آشتی کردن، هنوز عصبانی هستن.
Why do the verbs end in -an instead of -and?
In colloquial Tehrani Farsi, the final "d" in the third-person plural suffix -and is almost always dropped. So, kardand (they did) becomes kardan, and hastand (they are) becomes hastan.
Does ba inke require the subjunctive? The verb kardan is in the simple past here.
If you are talking about a completed fact in the past, ba inke (even though) takes the normal indicative past tense, like kardan here. However, if you are talking about the present or a general situation, it triggers the subjunctive.
What exactly does ashti kardan mean?
Ashti kardan means to reconcile, make up, or make peace after an argument. It is the direct opposite of qahr kardan, which is a very common Iranian cultural concept meaning to fall out with someone or give them the silent treatment.
Doesn't hanooz usually mean "yet"? Why is it translated as "still" here?
Hanooz means both "still" and "yet" depending on the verb! With a negative verb, it means "not yet" (for example, hanooz nayoomadan - they haven't come yet). With an affirmative verb like hastan here, it translates to "still".
