Questions & Answers about تا جایی که میدانم، اینجا نمیشود خوراکی و هدفون امانت گذاشت.
How does the grammar for "one cannot check" work in this sentence?
It uses the impersonal structure نمیشود (it is not possible / one cannot) plus the short infinitive, which is exactly the same as the past stem. The verb "to check/deposit" is the compound verb امانت گذاشتن. To make the short infinitive, we drop the ـن (-an) from the verbal part, giving us امانت گذاشت.
What is the literal meaning of تا جایی که میدانم?
It translates literally to "until a place that I know". تا means "until" or "as far as", جایی means "a place" (using the indefinite ی), and که میدانم means "that I know". It is the perfectly natural, standard way to say "as far as I know" in Farsi.
Why is the word امانت (amanat) used here to mean "check"?
امانت means "trust" or "safekeeping". The compound verb امانت گذاشتن literally means "to put in safekeeping". When you go to a museum, library, or event and leave your items at the cloakroom, you are "putting them in safekeeping", which is how Farsi expresses "checking" an item.
Why is نمیشود separated from گذاشت by the snacks and headphones?
Even though نمیشود and گذاشت work together to mean "one cannot leave", the short infinitive (گذاشت) still acts like the main verb of its clause. Because Farsi is a Subject-Object-Verb language, the main verb always goes at the very end. Therefore, the objects (خوراکی و هدفون) and the non-verbal part of the compound verb (امانت) are placed between نمیشود and گذاشت.
