Questions & Answers about در صورتی که از حیوان مراقبت نکنید، آن را پس میگیریم.
Why do we use the subjunctive verb nakonid here instead of the regular present tense?
The phrase dar surati ke (in case / provided that) sets up a condition. In Farsi, the action that might or might not happen in a conditional clause must be in the subjunctive mood. Because the condition here is negative, we use the negative subjunctive nakonid.
Why is the preposition az (from) used before the word for animal?
The compound verb morâqebat kardan (to take care of / to look after) requires the preposition az to connect to its object. While English uses 'of' or 'for', Farsi requires you to literally say you are taking care 'from' the object.
The English translation says 'we will take it back', so why is pas migirim in the present tense?
In Farsi conditional sentences, the simple present tense (with the mi- prefix) is commonly used to talk about the future result of a condition. You do not need to use the formal future tense with khâstan here.
How is the compound verb pas migirim built?
It comes from the infinitive pas gereftan. The base verb gereftan means 'to take', and adding the word pas (back) changes it to mean reclaiming or taking something back.
