Questions & Answers about از اینکه خاک تراریوم کپک زد ناراحتم.
Why do we use az inke here instead of just ke?
The adjective nārāhat (sad or upset) normally pairs with the preposition az to say what you are upset about. Because the reason is a full sentence rather than a simple noun, we use az inke to connect them. It literally means about this fact that.
Why is nārāhatam (I am sad) at the very end of the sentence?
In Farsi, the main clause can easily follow the subordinate clause. Stating the cause first (az inke... kapak zad) and then concluding with your reaction (nārāhatam) is a very natural word order. You could also put nārāhatam at the beginning, but this reverse order is very common.
What is the literal meaning of kapak zad?
It comes from the compound verb kapak zadan, which literally translates to to strike mold. This is the standard way to say something grew mold. Here it is in the simple past tense, so it means it molded.
Many clauses with inke require the subjunctive verb form. Why does kapak zad use the simple past tense instead?
We use the subjunctive for things that are uncertain, desired, or hypothetical. In this sentence, the soil molding is a real, completed fact that already happened. When az inke introduces a confirmed fact, the verb stays in its normal factual tense, which is the simple past here.
