Questions & Answers about حتی اگه پماد بیحسی رو بمالی، درد محو نمیشه.
Why is the verb بمالی (you apply) in the subjunctive form here?
In Farsi, when you use حتی اگه (even if) to talk about a hypothetical or future situation, the verb that follows it takes the present subjunctive. That is why we use the subjunctive بمالی instead of the present indicative میمالی.
Is اگه just a spoken form of اگر?
Yes! اگه is the common spoken and informal written form of اگر. You will hear حتی اگه very often in everyday conversation instead of the formal حتی اگر.
How is the word بیحسی (numbing) formed?
It is built from three parts: the prefix بی (without), the noun حس (feeling or sense), and the suffix ی which turns it into a state or condition. Together, بیحسی literally means without-feeling-ness or numbness.
Why does the direct object marker رو come after بیحسی and not immediately after پماد (ointment)?
The direct object marker رو (which is the spoken form of را) always attaches to the very end of a noun phrase. Because پماد بیحسی (numbing ointment) is linked by an ezafe, it acts as a single block, so the رو goes at the very end of that block.
What is the infinitive for محو نمیشه (does not fade)?
The infinitive is the compound verb محو شدن (to fade or to disappear). Here it is conjugated in the negative present indicative for it (the pain): محو نمیشود, which is shortened to محو نمیشه in spoken Farsi.
