Questions & Answers about تو همیشه شرمگین هستی، مگر اینکه واقعیت را قبول کنی.
How does the suffix -gin change the meaning of sharm in sharmgin?
The suffix -gin is added to nouns to create adjectives that mean "full of" or "in a state of" that noun. Since sharm means "shame," adding -gin creates sharmgin, meaning "full of shame" or "ashamed."
Is sharmgin used in casual spoken Farsi, or is there a better alternative for "ashamed"?
sharmgin is slightly more formal and literary, often implying a deep or profound sense of shame. For everyday conversational embarrassment, such as making a socially awkward mistake, native speakers are much more likely to use khajalat zadeh.
Why does this sentence use the subjunctive verb ghabool koni instead of the indicative ghabool mikoni?
The phrase magar inke means "unless." Because it introduces a conditional or hypothetical situation rather than a guaranteed fact, it requires the verb in the dependent clause to be in the subjunctive mood.
Why is the object marker ra placed right after vagheyat rather than at the end of the sentence?
The marker ra must immediately follow the definite direct object it modifies. In this sentence, vagheyat (reality) is the specific object being accepted. Therefore, ra goes right after the object and before the compound verb ghabool koni.
