Questions & Answers about اگه حسودی، دیگه نگاه نکن.
I see اگه and دیگه in this sentence. Are these the reduced Tehrani forms taught in this lesson?
Yes! اگه is the colloquial spoken form of اگر (if), and دیگه is the spoken form of دیگر (anymore / other). You will hear these shortened forms constantly in everyday conversation.
Is the word حسودی here the noun for "jealousy"?
Actually, no. While حسودی can mean "jealousy" in some contexts, in this sentence it is the adjective حسود (jealous) plus the second-person singular "to be" verb suffix ی. It literally means "you are jealous."
How does دیگه change the meaning of نگاه نکن?
When دیگه (the colloquial form of دیگر) is used with a negative verb like نگاه نکن (don't look), it translates to "anymore" or "any longer." Together, they simply mean "don't look anymore."
Why use نگاه نکن instead of نبین?
نگاه کردن means "to look" (an active, intentional choice), while دیدن (which gives us the negative command نبین) means "to see" (a passive sense). Since the speaker is telling the person to actively avert their eyes, نگاه نکن is the correct choice here.
