Questions & Answers about ما نمیخواهیم به درخواستهای ناقص رسیدگی بشود.
The current lesson teaches that the passive subjunctive uses a past participle + بشود. Why doesn't this sentence use a past participle, like رسیدگی کرده بشود?
That past participle rule applies to simple verbs, but رسیدگی کردن (to process) is a compound verb made of a noun (رسیدگی) plus کردن (to do). To make these compound verbs passive, you don't use a past participle; you simply swap out کردن for شدن (to become/be). Because نمیخواهیم (we don't want) requires the subjunctive mood, شدن becomes بشود, resulting in رسیدگی بشود.
Why is the preposition به used right before درخواستهای ناقص (incomplete requests)?
The Farsi verb رسیدگی کردن naturally requires the preposition به (to). While English simply says to process requests as a direct object, the Farsi phrasing literally translates to giving attention or processing to the requests. This preposition remains even when the sentence is transformed into the passive voice.
Since درخواستها (requests) is plural, why does the sentence end with the singular verb بشود instead of the plural بشوند?
In this specific passive structure, the requests are not the grammatical subject of the sentence; they are the object of the preposition به. The actual subject driving the passive verb is the noun portion of the compound verb, رسیدگی (processing/attention). Because رسیدگی is singular, the verb that matches it must also be the singular بشود.
Is there a connecting word missing between ما نمیخواهیم (we don't want) and the rest of the sentence?
Yes, grammatically there is an implied که (that) linking the main verb to the subjunctive clause, which would make it ما نمیخواهیم که... (we don't want that...). However, in Farsi it is extremely common to drop که in both spoken and written language, relying entirely on the subjunctive verb at the end of the sentence to show the relationship.
