Questions & Answers about ما هیچوقت گزارشهای غیرضروری را مرور نمیکنیم.
Why is the verb negative (نمیکنیم) when the sentence already uses هیچوقت (never)?
In Farsi, words like هیچوقت (never), هیچکس (nobody), or هیچچیز (nothing) always require a negative verb. Unlike English, where a double negative is usually incorrect, Farsi requires double negatives to make the sentence grammatically complete. You are literally saying 'We never do not review'.
How is the word غیرضروری (unnecessary) formed?
It is formed using غیر (gheyre), which acts like the English prefixes 'un-', 'non-', or 'in-'. It combines with ضروری (necessary) to mean 'unnecessary'. When غیر is placed before a word, it connects to it using an invisible 'e' sound (an ezâfe), so it is pronounced 'gheyre-zaruri'.
Why does the direct object marker را come after the adjective instead of right after the noun گزارشهای (reports)?
The word را must always follow the entire noun phrase, not just the core noun. Because غیرضروری (unnecessary) describes the reports, it is part of that same phrase. Therefore, را is placed at the very end: گزارشهای غیرضروری را (the unnecessary reports + را).
How would I apply this lesson's grammar, به جای اینکه (instead of), to the action in this sentence?
