Questions & Answers about به جای گرفتن وام، تو مجبور هستی که این شرایط را تحمل کنی.
Why is تحمل کنی used instead of the normal present tense تحمل میکنی?
Because of the phrase مجبور هستی که (you are forced to). In Farsi, when you express an obligation using expressions like مجبور بودن (to be forced), the following verb must be in the Present Subjunctive. Here, تحمل کنی is the subjunctive form of the compound verb تحمل کردن (to endure) for the informal you.
Why is the full infinitive گرفتن used after به جای?
In Farsi, when a verb follows a prepositional phrase like به جای (instead of), you use the infinitive form of the verb to act as a noun. It works just like an -ing verb in English, so به جای گرفتن means instead of getting.
The word شرایط is plural, but it is translated as a singular situation. Is that correct?
Yes. شرایط is technically an Arabic broken plural meaning conditions, but in everyday Farsi it is very commonly used as a collective idea meaning situation or circumstances. Because it refers to one overall situation here, it pairs perfectly with the singular word این (this).
What is the purpose of را after این شرایط?
The word را is the definite direct object marker. Because you are enduring a specific, identified thing (this situation / این شرایط), the marker را must come right after it to show it receives the action of the verb تحمل کنی.
