Questions & Answers about هر کس هم که نارضایتی داشته باشد، مدیر هرگز کوتاه نمیآید.
Why does the sentence use هم که (ham ke) after هر کس (har kas)?
Adding هم که right after words like هر کس (everyone) or هر چیز (everything) creates an indefinite concessive clause. Literally, it is like saying "every person even if they..." but it translates smoothly to "no matter who." This structure always requires the verb in its clause to be in the subjunctive.
Since this structure requires the subjunctive, why doesn't داشته باشد (dâshte bâshad) have the usual بـ (be-) prefix?
The verb داشتن (dâshtan, to have) is a common exception. It forms its present subjunctive by using its past participle داشته (dâshte) plus the present subjunctive forms of بودن (budan, to be) — in this case, باشد (bâshad). It never takes the بـ prefix.
What is the literal meaning of کوتاه نمیآید (kutâh nemi-âyad)?
It comes from the compound verb کوتاه آمدن (kutâh âmadan), which literally means "to come short." In everyday Farsi, it is a very common idiom meaning to compromise, give in, or back down.
Why is the verb نمیآید negative if the word هرگز (hargez) already means "never"?
