Questions & Answers about امیدوارم که بیایی.
Why is the verb biyâyi (you come) in the subjunctive form here?
Because the sentence starts with omidvâram ke (I hope that). In Farsi, expressing hopes, wishes, or desires requires the second verb to be in the present subjunctive, because it describes a potential event rather than a guaranteed fact.
How exactly is the subjunctive form biyâyi built from the verb to come?
The infinitive for to come is âmadan, and its present stem is ây. To form the subjunctive, we normally add the prefix be- and a personal ending (here, -i for you). Since ây starts with a vowel, the prefix becomes biy- to make it flow better, resulting in biyâyi.
How does the word omidvâram translate to I hope?
The word omidvâr is actually an adjective meaning hopeful. To say I hope, Farsi literally says I am hopeful. The -am at the end is the attached personal suffix for the verb to be, meaning I am.
Is the word ke (that) strictly required in this sentence?
No, it is optional. Just like in English where you can say I hope you come instead of I hope that you come, native Farsi speakers frequently drop ke in casual conversation and simply say omidvâram biyâyi.
