Questions & Answers about ممکن است که موجودات به خاطر تاریکی و کمبود نور بمیرند.
Why is the verb bemirand in the subjunctive form here?
The phrase momken ast ke (it is possible that) expresses possibility and uncertainty. In Farsi, this triggers the subjunctive mood for the following verb. That is why we use bemirand (with the be- prefix) instead of the regular present tense mimirand.
Why does the word for creatures, mowjudât, end in -ât instead of the standard plural -hâ?
Mowjud is a noun borrowed from Arabic. In Farsi, many Arabic loanwords take the Arabic plural suffix -ât. While you might occasionally hear mowjudhâ, mowjudât is the standard and most natural way to say 'creatures'.
Is there a hidden sound linking be xâter (because of) to the next word?
Yes, you need an ezâfe here. It is pronounced be xâter-e târiki. As a compound preposition meaning 'because of', be xâter uses the -e linking sound to connect to the noun that follows it.
What is the infinitive of bemirand (they die), and how is this form built?
The infinitive is mordan (to die). It has an irregular present stem: mir. To build this present subjunctive form, you combine the subjunctive prefix be-, the present stem mir, and the 'they' ending -and to get bemirand.
