Questions & Answers about هر قدر هم که درد جسمانی داشته باشی، با قدرت ذهنی تا پایان دست نمیکشی.
Why do we use dāshte bāshi here instead of the regular present tense dāri?
The phrase har qadr ham ke introduces an indefinite concessive clause of degree, meaning "no matter how much". These clauses describe a hypothetical or indefinite degree of something, so they require the verb to be in the subjunctive mood rather than the indicative.
How is the subjunctive form dāshte bāshi constructed, since it lacks the usual be- prefix?
The verb dāshtan (to have) is irregular and never takes the be- prefix. Its present subjunctive is formed using its past participle dāshte followed by the present subjunctive forms of "to be" (such as bāsham, bāshi, bāshad).
Is the word ham required in this grammar structure?
While har qadr ke translates to "however much", adding ham provides the emphatic "no matter" or "even" nuance. For concessive clauses where you want to express "no matter how much", the ham is essential to lock in that contrast.
How does dast nemikeshi mean "you do not give up"?
It comes from the compound verb dast keshidan, which literally means "to pull the hand". Idiomatically, pulling your hand away from a task or situation means to withdraw, quit, or give up. In this sentence, it is used in the negative present indicative form.
