Questions & Answers about له کردن آجر با دست، دردناکترین کاری است که یک ورزشکار بخواهد انجام دهد.
Why is the verb بخواهد (would want) in the subjunctive mood here?
Because the relative clause starting with که (that) modifies a noun paired with a superlative adjective: دردناکترین (the most painful). In Farsi, when a relative clause describes a superlative, its verb usually takes the subjunctive mood to show that the scenario is hypothetical, generalized, or extreme (the most painful thing they might or would want to do).
Why is the second verb, انجام دهد (to do), also in the subjunctive mood?
While the first verb (بخواهد) is subjunctive because of the superlative rule, انجام دهد is subjunctive because it follows the verb to want (خواستن). Just as you learned in earlier levels, whenever you say you want to do an action in Farsi, that second verb must always take the subjunctive mood.
How does Farsi form the noun phrase Crushing at the beginning of the sentence?
It simply uses the full infinitive form of the verb, له کردن. In Farsi, you do not need a special -ing ending; placing the infinitive right at the start of the sentence acts exactly like an English gerund (verbal noun).
What is the purpose of the ی suffix at the end of کاری?
This suffix is added to کار (action/thing) to link it to the relative pronoun که (that). It acts as a bridge, signaling to the listener that a descriptive relative clause is about to define exactly what kind of thing we are talking about.
