Questions & Answers about این عجیبترین رکوردی است که بتوانند در دنیا ثبت کنند.
Why is the verb بتوانند (they can) in the subjunctive mood here?
In Farsi, when a که (that) clause modifies a noun paired with a superlative adjective (like عجیبترین, "the strangest"), the verb in that clause often goes into the subjunctive. It emphasizes that this is the strangest record out of any possible or imaginable records they could set, adding a sense of potential.
Why are there two subjunctive verbs in a row (بتوانند and ثبت کنند)?
This is a combination of two different grammar rules stacking up! بتوانند is subjunctive because it is part of a clause describing the superlative adjective عجیبترین. Then, because the verb توانستن (to be able to) always forces the verb that directly follows it into the subjunctive, the main action ثبت کنند must also take the subjunctive form.
Why does رکورد (record) have an ی attached to it to make رکوردی?
This is the restrictive ی. In Farsi, when a noun is followed by a که clause that specifically defines or restricts its meaning, you usually attach an ی to the end of that noun. It acts as a bridge linking "the record" to the specific description "that they can set".
The English translation says "they set", but doesn't ثبت کردن mean "to register"?
Exactly! The literal translation of ثبت کردن is "to register", "to record", or "to log". In Farsi, you don't "set" a record using a direct equivalent of the English verb; instead, you "register" it. Therefore, رکورد ثبت کردن is the standard Farsi phrasing for setting a record.
