Questions & Answers about به نظر میرسد که مقررات بازی گیجکننده است و عادلانه نیست.
Why does the clause after به نظر میرسد که use the indicative verbs است and نیست instead of the subjunctive?
While many impersonal expressions trigger the subjunctive, به نظر میرسد (it seems) often takes the indicative when you are stating an observation that you believe reflects reality. Because the speaker perceives the rules being confusing as a factual observation rather than a hypothetical doubt, they use the indicative forms است and نیست.
The word مقررات means "rules" (plural). Why do the verbs است and نیست translate to the singular "is" and "is not"?
This is a great refresher on Farsi subject-verb agreement! In Farsi, inanimate plural subjects (things, abstract concepts, or animals) usually take a singular verb. Since مقررات (rules) are not human, the sentence correctly uses the singular verbs است and نیست.
How is the adjective گیجکننده (confusing) built?
It is formed from the compound verb گیج کردن (to confuse). It uses the present stem of کردن, which is کن, plus the suffix ـنده (-ande). This suffix turns a verb stem into a "doer" noun or an active adjective. So, گیجکننده literally means the thing doing the confusing!
What is the purpose of the ـانه suffix at the end of عادلانه (fair)?
The suffix ـانه (-āne) is often added to nouns or adjectives referring to people to create an adjective or adverb describing a quality or manner. Here, it is attached to the root عادل (a just or fair person) to describe the rules as having the quality of being fair or just.
