Question 1

The current lesson is about har che qadr ham ke, but this sentence uses har kas ham ke. Does the same grammar rule apply to other words?

Accepted Answer

Exactly! The formula har + [noun/question word] + ham ke works across the board to mean "no matter [X]". While the current lesson focuses on har che qadr (no matter how much), here we use kas (person) to mean "no matter who" or "whoever". You could also use kojâ for "no matter where", and they all require the main verb to be in the Present Subjunctive.

Question 2

Why are there two verbs in the subjunctive form (biâyad and bekharad) in this sentence?

Accepted Answer

They are in the subjunctive for two completely different reasons. The first verb, بیاید (comes), is triggered by the "no matter who" structure (هر کس هم که). The second verb, بخرد (buys), is simply following باید (must). As a reminder from earlier levels, باید is a modal verb that always forces the following verb into the subjunctive.

Question 3

What happens to the meaning if we drop ham ke and just say har kas emruz be pist biâyad?

Accepted Answer

Dropping هم که changes the nuance from "no matter who" to a simple "everyone who" or "anyone who". The sentence would still be grammatically correct and mean "Everyone who comes to the slope today must buy a ticket," but it loses that emphatic feeling of "I don't care who they are, there are no exceptions."

Question 4

The word pist sounds familiar. Is it a loanword?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is borrowed from the French word piste. In Farsi, پیست is most commonly used for a ski slope (پیست اسکی) or a race track (for cars, bikes, etc.). Since the sentence mentions coming to the پیست and buying a ticket, it's almost certainly referring to a ski resort.
