Questions & Answers about شاید زمانبندی فیلمبرداری امروز تغییر کند.
Why is the verb kardan in the subjunctive form (konad) instead of a future tense, since this is about something happening later today?
In Farsi, when you express a possibility using shâyad (might/perhaps), the verb that follows must be in the present subjunctive. Even though the change might happen in the future, Farsi uses the present subjunctive to show that the action is uncertain or hypothetical, not a guaranteed fact.
Where is the be- prefix that we usually add to make a present subjunctive verb? Why is it just konad?
The verb here is the compound verb taghyir kardan (to change). For the auxiliary verb kardan (to do/make), the subjunctive form is often just konad instead of bekonad. While bekonad is grammatically correct, native speakers almost always drop the be- prefix for kardan in everyday Farsi, especially in compound verbs.
How exactly is the word zamân-bandi (schedule) built?
It is a combination of zamân (time) and bandi (grouping or organizing). Bandi comes from the verb root for binding or connecting, plus the noun-forming suffix -i. Together, they literally mean time-organizing, which translates to schedule or timing.
Do I need an ezafe to connect zamân-bandi and film-bardâri?
Yes! Because zamân-bandi ends in a vowel (the -i sound), you add a -ye sound to connect it to film-bardâri to show possession or relation. So you pronounce the phrase as (the schedule of filming).
