Questions & Answers about با آن شکستگی، احتمال داشت بدلکار فلج بشود.
Why do we use the present subjunctive beshavad if the sentence is talking about the past?
This is how Farsi handles past possibilities. The main phrase ehtemâl dâsht establishes the past tense. The action that might have happened (becoming paralyzed) is treated as an unrealized idea, so it takes the present subjunctive beshavad, just as it would if the sentence were in the present tense.
What is the literal translation of ehtemâl dâsht?
It literally means it had probability. The noun ehtemâl means probability, chance, or likelihood. By using the past tense verb dâsht (it had), it translates naturally to it was likely or there was a chance.
Could I use momken bud instead of ehtemâl dâsht here?
Yes, you could perfectly say momken bud badalkâr falaj beshavad. Both phrases require the subjunctive in the second verb. The difference is subtle: momken bud means it was possible, while ehtemâl dâsht often implies a slightly higher chance, meaning it was likely or it was probable.
How does the word shekastegi translate to fracture?
It is built from the verb shekastan (to break). The past stem shekast forms the adjective shekaste (broken). By adding the noun-forming suffix -i (which becomes -gi after a vowel), we get shekastegi, meaning a break or fracture.
What are the root words inside badalkâr (stuntman)?
It combines badal, which means a substitute or fake, with the suffix -kâr, meaning someone who does a specific job. Literally, it means a substitute worker or a double.
