Questions & Answers about نباید در کار اینقدر زودرنج باشی.
How is the compound adjective zud-ranj formed in this sentence?
It combines the word zud (meaning quick or early) with ranj, which is the bare present stem of the verb ranjidan (to be offended or annoyed). Together, they describe someone whose characteristic action is taking offense quickly.
Does zud-ranj refer to emotional sensitivity, physical sensitivity, or both?
It is strictly used for emotional sensitivity. If you want to say someone is easily offended, touchy, or thin-skinned, zud-ranj is the perfect word, but you wouldn't use it for physical sensitivity like an allergy or delicate skin.
Why is the verb bāshi in the subjunctive mood instead of the standard present tense?
The word nabāyad (should not / must not) is a modal verb, and in Farsi, the main verb that follows a modal must always be in the subjunctive mood. That is why we use the subjunctive bāshi (that you be) instead of the indicative hasti (you are).
Why doesn't nabāyad have a personal ending to match the "you" in bāshi?
Modals like bāyad and nabāyad are frozen forms that never change to match the subject. We know the sentence means "you shouldn't" rather than "he shouldn't" entirely because of the second-person singular ending on the main verb, bāshi.
