Questions & Answers about در طول عکاسی نمیشود اینجا راه رفت.
How does the grammar work for "one cannot walk" in this sentence?
This uses the impersonal structure nemi-shavad (it is not possible / one cannot) followed by the short infinitive of the main verb. The short infinitive is identical to the past stem. So, instead of using the subjunctive, we just use rah raft, which is the past stem of rah raftan (to walk).
Why does the sentence use dar tool-e for "during"? Doesn't tool mean "length"?
Yes, tool literally means "length". The phrase dar tool-e translates literally to "in the length of", but it is the standard Farsi expression for "during" or "throughout" an event or time period, such as akkasi (photography) here.
Why is inja (here) placed between nemi-shavad and rah raft?
In this impersonal structure, the short infinitive (rah raft) acts as the main verb and goes at the very end of the clause. The helper verb nemi-shavad comes earlier, so adverbs of place like inja naturally fall between them.
If rah raftan is a compound verb, why doesn't it take a be- prefix here?
The impersonal mi-shavad / nemi-shavad structure strictly requires the short infinitive (the past stem), not the subjunctive mood. Because we are just using the raw past stem rah raft, no be- prefix is added to the verb.
