Questions & Answers about با حیوان خانگی نمیشود وارد موزه شد.
How does the verb structure nemi-shavad ... shod work in this sentence?
This sentence uses the impersonal grammar structure for general possibility. We start with nemi-shavad (it is not possible / one cannot). Then we need the short infinitive, which is identical to the past stem, of the main verb. The main verb here is the compound verb vared shodan (to enter), so its short infinitive is vared shod.
Why are there two forms of the verb shodan (shavad and shod) in the same sentence?
It might look repetitive, but they are doing completely different jobs! The nemi-shavad is the fixed impersonal phrase meaning it is impossible. The shod at the end is simply the short infinitive of the main verb, vared shodan (to enter). They just happen to share the same root verb.
Is there an ezāfe (the connecting -e sound) between vared and muzeh?
Yes, it is pronounced vared-e muzeh. When the compound verb vared shodan (to enter) specifies the place being entered, it connects to that destination using the ezāfe.
How exactly does heyvan-e khanegi translate to the English word pet?
The word heyvan means animal. The word khanegi means domestic or household, which comes from khaneh (house) plus the suffix -gi. Joined by the ezāfe, heyvan-e khanegi literally means domestic animal, which is the standard Farsi term for a pet.
