Questions & Answers about هر چه بیشتر به موسیقی گوش دهید، به تلفظ مسلطتر میشوید.
How does the 'the more... the more...' pattern work in this sentence?
The first half uses har che (whatever) paired with the comparative bishtar (more) to mean 'the more'. The second half doesn't repeat har che; it simply uses another comparative adjective, mosallat-tar (more proficient), to complete the pattern.
Why is the first verb gush dahid in the subjunctive, but the second verb mishavid isn't?
In this structure, the first part acts like a hypothetical condition or an 'if' clause ('If/whenever you listen more...'), which requires the subjunctive mood (gush dahid). The second part is the factual result of that condition ('...you become more proficient'), so it uses the standard present indicative (mishavid).
Why is the preposition be used in both halves of the sentence?
It is just a coincidence that both parts require it! In Farsi, you listen to something (be ... gush dâdan) and you have mastery/proficiency over something (be ... mosallat shodan). It is a great reminder to always memorize the preposition that goes with a specific verb or adjective.
What is the base word for mosallat-tar?
The base word is mosallat, which means 'proficient', 'fluent', or 'having mastery' (especially regarding skills or languages). By adding the standard Farsi comparative suffix -tar, we get mosallat-tar (more proficient).
