Questions & Answers about آیا ترس از انزوا تو را به ریاکاری واداشت؟
How does the verb vâdâshtan connect to the object and the action in this sentence?
As taught in this lesson, vâdâshtan (to compel or induce) requires a direct object followed by the preposition be and the resulting action or state. Here, the direct object being compelled is to (you), marked by râ. This is immediately followed by be riyâkâri (to hypocrisy) to show what the person was forced into.
واداشت looks like it comes from داشتن (to have). How does this verb conjugate in other tenses?
The verb vâdâshtan is a prefixed verb made of vâ- plus dâshtan (to have). In this sentence, vâdâsht is in the simple past tense. Unlike the simple verb dâshtan, this prefixed verb can take the continuous prefix mi- in other tenses. When it does, the mi- slips between the prefix and the root, for example, vâmidârad (he or she compels).
Why is it ترس از انزوا instead of using an ezafe like ترسِ انزوا?
While an ezafe (tars-e enzavâ) is grammatically understood, Farsi typically uses the preposition az (from or of) after tars (fear) to specify the source of the emotion. It translates literally as "fear from isolation," which is the most natural and standard way to express "fear of something" in Farsi.
