Questions & Answers about بیخیال، دیگه نمیخوام بدونم.
How does دیگه work here, and what is its formal equivalent?
دیگه is the highly common colloquial form of دیگر. When used alongside a negative verb, as it is in this sentence, it translates to "anymore" or "any longer."
What does بیخیال literally mean?
It literally translates to "without care" or "without thought" (combining بی meaning "without" and خیال meaning "imagination" or "worry"). In everyday Farsi, it is the standard, everyday phrase for "never mind," "forget it," or "let it go."
Why is the second verb بدونم instead of میدونم?
Farsi uses the subjunctive form for the second verb after verbs of wanting, wishing, or necessity. Because you are expressing "I don't want to know" (which Farsi structures as "I don't want that I know"), the verb "to know" drops its indicative میـ prefix and takes the subjunctive بـ prefix.
Both verbs look a bit shorter or different from how they are written in formal Farsi. What are their written forms?
In spoken Tehrani Farsi, "am" or "an" sounds frequently shift to an "um" or "un" sound, and sometimes middle sounds get dropped entirely. The formal written form of نمیخوام is نمیخواهم (nemi-khaham), and the formal form of بدونم is بدانم (bedanam).
