Questions & Answers about خواننده از اینکه شعر را فراموش کرد خجالت میکشد.
Why do we need the phrase "az in ke" here instead of just translating "that" as "ke"?
The verb khejâlat keshidan (to be embarrassed) requires the preposition az (from/of) to introduce the thing causing embarrassment. In Farsi, you cannot put a preposition directly in front of a clause. You have to bridge them with in (this), making az in ke literally mean "from this, that...".
Why is "farâmush kard" (forgot) in the normal past tense rather than the subjunctive after "in ke"?
After in ke, you use the indicative (normal) mood if the clause describes a factual reality, and the subjunctive if it describes a possibility, wish, or uncertainty. Since the singer actually did forget the poem—it is a completed fact—we use the simple past tense farâmush kard.
What is the literal translation of the verb "khejâlat mikeshad"?
It literally translates to "pulls embarrassment". The verb keshidan (to pull or draw) is frequently used in Farsi compound verbs to express experiencing, enduring, or carrying a feeling or burden.
Why is there a "râ" after "she'r" (poem) in the middle of the sentence?
The word râ marks a specific direct object. Inside the subordinate clause, the poem is the direct object of farâmush kard (forgot). Because the singer didn't just forget any random poem, but the specific poem they were supposed to sing, it is definite and requires râ.
