Questions & Answers about مگر او کنار در غش نکرد؟ این بازی مسخره دردسر درست میکند.
How does مگر change the first sentence?
In this context, مگر is used to show surprise or ask a rhetorical question. By putting it at the start of a negative question, it translates to something like 'Wait, didn't he...?' or 'I thought he...!', showing that the speaker is shocked or expects a positive answer.
Why is درست میکند translated as 'is going to cause' when it is in the present tense?
In Farsi, the simple present tense is very commonly used to talk about the near future, especially for inevitable outcomes or planned actions. Translating it as 'is going to cause' sounds much more natural in English than the literal 'makes'.
What is the literal translation of دردسر?
It literally translates to 'headache' (درد means pain, and سر means head). While it can mean a physical headache, Farsi speakers use it constantly in everyday conversation to mean 'trouble', 'hassle', or 'inconvenience'.
What is the base verb for 'faint' here, and how is it made negative?
The base verb is the compound غش کردن (to faint). To make a compound verb negative in the past tense, you only attach the negative prefix نـ to the conjugated helping verb (کرد), which gives you غش نکرد (he did not faint).
