Questions & Answers about به نظر میرسد که اوضاع نگرانکننده است.
Why do we use the indicative verb است here instead of the subjunctive?
The phrase به نظر میرسد که (it seems that) can be followed by either the indicative or the subjunctive. We use the indicative است (is) here because the speaker is presenting the worrying situation as a perceived fact or a strong reality. If they wanted to express more doubt or subjectivity, they would use the subjunctive باشد.
اوضاع is plural, meaning "conditions" or "situations". Why does it take the singular verb است?
اوضاع is an Arabic "broken plural" of وضع (situation). In Farsi, plural subjects that are inanimate (non-living things or abstract concepts) usually take a singular verb. Therefore, "the conditions" gets paired with the singular است.
How is the adjective نگرانکننده (worrying) formed?
It is a compound word made by combining نگران (worried/anxious) with کننده (maker/doer). کننده is the active participle of کردن (to do/make). Together, نگرانکننده literally means "worry-making", which translates perfectly to "worrying" or "concerning".
What is the literal breakdown of the impersonal expression به نظر میرسد?
It literally means "it arrives to the view." نظر means "view," "sight," or "opinion," and میرسد is the third-person singular present tense of رسیدن (to arrive). Farsi uses this structure to express "it seems" or "it appears."
