Questions & Answers about انگار توربینهای جدید مشکلات زیستمحیطی ندارند.
How is the adjective زیستمحیطی (zist-mohiti) built?
It is a compound word. زیست (zist) comes from the root for 'to live', and محیط (mohit) means 'environment' or 'surroundings'. The suffix ـی (-i) at the end turns the whole phrase into an adjective, giving us 'environmental'.
Why is the verb ندارند (nadârand) in the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive? Doesn't انگار (engâr) show uncertainty?
انگار can take either mood depending on the context. When it means 'as if' for an unreal or highly doubtful situation, it often takes the subjunctive. However, when it means 'it seems that' and the speaker is describing a likely reality or drawing a logical conclusion from evidence (as they are here about the new turbines), it takes the indicative.
Why does مشکلات (moshkelât) end in ـات instead of the standard Farsi plural ـها (-hâ)?
مشکل (moshkel) is an Arabic loanword, and it frequently takes the Arabic plural suffix ـات (-ât) in Farsi. While you might occasionally hear مشکلها in casual speech, مشکلات is the standard and most natural way to say 'problems'.
Why isn't there a که (ke) after انگار to mean 'It seems that'?
Unlike the verb phrase به نظر میرسد (it seems), which generally requires که to connect to the following clause, انگار acts as a standalone adverbial conjunction and doesn't need که. It simply sits right at the beginning of the sentence.
