Questions & Answers about غذاهای ارگانیک بخورید و از محصولات فرآوریشده پرهیز کنید، مبادا بیمار شوید.
How could I use this lesson's target grammar (gheyr-e) to say 'unprocessed products' in this sentence?
You could say mahsulât-e gheyr-e farâvari-shode. By placing gheyr-e (non- / un-) before the adjective, you negate it. Just remember that gheyr takes an Ezafe to connect to the adjective it modifies.
Why is shavid in the subjunctive mood here, and why isn't it negative?
The word mabâdâ means 'lest', 'god forbid', or 'so that... not'. Because it expresses a hypothetical outcome to avoid, it requires the verb to be in the subjunctive mood (shavid). Even though mabâdâ has a negative sense ('so that you don't get sick'), the Farsi verb following it usually stays affirmative.
How is the adjective farâvari-shode (processed) formed?
It is a compound participle. farâvari means 'processing', and shode is the past participle of shodan (to become). Together, they form a passive adjective meaning 'processed' or 'having been processed'. This is a very common B2-level pattern for creating adjectives out of nouns or verb roots.
Why do we need the preposition az before mahsulât (products)?
The compound verb parhiz kardan (to avoid or to abstain) requires the preposition az (from) to indicate the thing being avoided. You are literally telling someone to 'abstain from processed products'.
