Questions & Answers about از لحنش انگار دیگر به خاطرش عصبانی نیست.
Why does engâr take the indicative verb nist here instead of a subjunctive verb?
While engâr (as if / it seems) often takes the subjunctive for hypothetical or unreal situations, here it expresses a deduction about reality based on evidence (his tone). When expressing what is likely a true fact rather than a hypothetical fantasy, we use the indicative mood, which is why we see nist instead of a subjunctive form.
How does digar change the meaning when paired with the negative verb nist?
In affirmative sentences, digar typically means other or another. However, when paired with a negative verb like nist, the structure of digar plus a negative verb translates to not anymore or no longer.
How exactly does be khâter-ash translate to about it in this context?
The compound preposition be khâter-e literally means for the sake of or because of. By attaching the third-person suffix -ash, we get be khâter-ash (because of it or about it), referring back to the unspoken situation that originally caused the anger.
Could we move engâr to the very beginning of the sentence?
Yes, you could absolutely say engâr az lahn-ash instead. Placing az lahn-ash (from his tone) first simply emphasizes the evidence before introducing the assumption with engâr. Both word orders are completely natural in conversational Farsi.
