Questions & Answers about آنها اینطور رفتار میکنند که انگار درگیری تمام شده باشد.
Why is the verb تمام شده باشد in the subjunctive mood?
Because it follows انگار (as if). Using the subjunctive here shows that the idea is hypothetical or contrary to reality: the conflict has not actually ended, but they are just acting like it has.
Could we use the indicative تمام شده است instead?
Yes, but it changes the nuance. Using the indicative (است) after انگار implies a real possibility: it seems the conflict really has ended. By using the subjunctive (باشد), the speaker emphasizes their doubt, pointing out that the conflict is definitely not over despite how they act.
How is the tense of تمام شده باشد formed?
This is the present perfect subjunctive, used here to talk about an unrealized past event. It is built using the past participle of the main verb (تمام شده) plus the present subjunctive form of the helper verb to be, which in this case is باشد for the third-person singular.
What is the purpose of the word که before انگار in this sentence?
It connects the phrase اینطور رفتار میکنند (they behave in this way) to the explanation of their behavior. You can translate it literally as 'They behave in this way that it is as if...'. In everyday speech, this که is sometimes dropped.
