Questions & Answers about مدیر کارهای ساده را به همکاران میسپارد تا حواسپرتی نداشته باشد.
Why does the verb for 'doesn't have' look like nadashte bashad instead of a regular present subjunctive?
The verb 'to have' (dashtan) has a unique subjunctive form in Farsi. Instead of adding the usual be- prefix to the present stem, it uses the past participle dashte plus the subjunctive of 'to be' (bashad). To make it negative, we add the na- prefix directly to the participle, giving us nadashte bashad.
Why is the subjunctive used here for nadashte bashad?
The conjunction ta means 'so that' or 'in order to' in this context. Just like this lesson's main focus (be ja-ye inke or 'instead of doing'), ta introduces an intent or a hypothetical outcome, which strictly requires the following verb to take the present subjunctive form.
How exactly does the word havas-parti translate to 'distractions'?
It is a descriptive compound noun. Havas means 'senses' or 'attention', and part means 'thrown' or 'tossed'. Adding the noun-forming suffix -i creates havas-parti. This literally translates to 'the state of having tossed attention', which is the natural way Farsi expresses distraction or absent-mindedness.
What is the infinitive form of the verb mi-separad?
The infinitive is sepordan, which means to entrust, delegate, or hand over. Its present stem is irregular: separ. Adding the continuous prefix mi- and the third-person singular ending -ad creates mi-separad.
Why is the object marker ra placed after sade instead of karha?
The phrase karha-ye sade ('simple tasks') acts as a single noun phrase connected by the -ye (ezafe) linking vowel. The direct object marker ra must always attach to the very end of the entire noun phrase, not immediately after the core noun.
