Questions & Answers about تو میبایست عصارهی یاس خالص را به فرمول حساس اضافه میکردی.
How does this sentence express "should have added"?
It uses میبایست (mi-bâyast) to mean "should have", followed by the main verb in the Past Continuous tense: اضافه میکردی (ezâfe mi-kardi). While you can also use the Present Subjunctive here, the Past Continuous is very common for emphasizing an action that was supposed to happen in the past but didn't.
How does the phrase عصارهی یاس خالص (pure jasmine extract) link together?
It uses the ezâfe grammar rule to link the words. عصاره (extract) ends in a vowel, so it takes a written "ye" sound: عصارهی. Then it links to یاس (jasmine). Although not written, there is another spoken ezâfe between یاس and the adjective خالص (pure), making the full pronunciation osâre-ye yâs-e khâles.
Why is را placed after خالص instead of right after the word for extract?
The word را (râ) marks the specific direct object, but it always goes at the very end of the entire noun phrase. Since the object receiving the action is the whole phrase "the pure jasmine extract" (عصارهی یاس خالص), را sits after the final adjective.
I know حساس means "sensitive". Why is it translated as "delicate" here?
In Farsi, حساس (hassâs) literally means "sensitive", but it is used in a wider variety of contexts. When talking about recipes, formulas, or materials, it translates naturally to "delicate" or "finicky", meaning it requires careful handling.
