Questions & Answers about این بیماری واگیردار است؛ شما باید در قرنطینه بمانید، وگرنه همه بیمار میشوند.
Why do we use the present indicative mishavand after vagarna instead of a subjunctive?
The word vagarna (otherwise) introduces a factual consequence, essentially starting a new main clause. Because it predicts a real, certain outcome if the quarantine rule is broken, it takes the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive.
The translation says "will get sick," so why is mishavand in the present tense instead of the future tense?
In Farsi, the present indicative is frequently used for future events, especially when expressing a definite consequence. The formal future tense sounds too rigid for everyday speech here, so the present tense naturally expresses what will happen.
Why does hame (everyone) take the plural verb mishavand?
This is a common trap for English speakers! While "everyone" takes a singular verb in English, the Farsi pronoun hame requires a plural verb when referring to a group of people.
How is the adjective vagirdar (contagious) constructed?
It combines vagir (communicable) with the suffix -dar (having). The root gir comes from gereftan (to catch), so the word literally describes something that possesses the ability to be caught.
