Questions & Answers about هر چه تورم بیشتر شود، قیمتها بیشتر افزایش مییابد.
Why do we use یافتن (to find) in the verb افزایش مییابد?
افزایش مییابد comes from the formal compound verb افزایش یافتن (to increase). In formal Farsi, the light verb یافتن (to find/obtain) pairs with nouns describing a state or process. It literally means 'obtains an increase' and acts as a more elegant, written alternative to simpler verbs like زیاد شدن.
How does Farsi form the 'The more... the more...' structure seen here?
It uses هر چه (literally 'whatever') followed by a comparative adjective in the first clause, and another comparative in the second clause. Here, we see هر چه... بیشتر... بیشتر... which maps perfectly to 'The higher... the more...' in English.
Why is the first verb شود in the subjunctive mood, while the second verb مییابد is indicative?
The first clause sets up a general, ongoing condition ('however much inflation might get higher'), which triggers the subjunctive شود. The second clause states the concrete, factual result of that condition ('prices do increase'), so it requires the indicative mood.
Since قیمتها (prices) is plural, why is its verb مییابد singular?
This is a standard rule in Farsi that is easy to forget: plural inanimate subjects (like objects, concepts, or prices) almost always take a singular verb. Plural verbs are usually reserved for living, human subjects.
