Questions & Answers about حتی اگر روکش خراشیده تمیز باشد، آن را مرجوع میکنیم.
How is the word kharashide (scratched) formed and used in this sentence?
The word kharashide is a resultative adjective. It is built from the past participle of the verb kharashidan (to scratch). By taking the past stem kharashid and adding the suffix -e, it creates an adjective that describes the completed state of the cover (rookesh).
Why does the sentence use the subjunctive verb bashad instead of ast for the word 'is'?
The sentence uses the conjunction hatta agar (even if), which introduces a conditional or hypothetical situation. In Farsi, verbs following 'if' usually take the subjunctive mood to indicate that the state or action is a condition, rather than a confirmed fact.
The English translation says 'we will return', but marju' mikonim is in the present tense. Why is that?
In Farsi, the present indicative tense is frequently used to express near or definite future actions. While you could technically use a formal future tense, using mikonim (we do / we are doing) is the most natural way to say 'we will do it' in everyday situations.
Can I use the verb marju' kardan anytime I want to say 'to return'?
No, marju' kardan is used specifically for returning goods, merchandise, or shipments to a store or sender. If you want to talk about a person returning to a location, you would use bargashtan. If you are simply giving an item back to a friend, pas dadan is more common.
