Questions & Answers about من از پس اجارهبهای آپارتمان برنمیآیم، چه برسد به اینکه به یک سفر لوکس بروم.
Why is the verb beravam in the subjunctive here?
The phrase che berasad be inke (let alone) introduces a hypothetical or highly unlikely situation. Because the second action (going on a luxury trip) is framed as improbable given the failure of the first clause, Farsi requires the present subjunctive for the verb that follows it, which is beravam (I go) here.
What does az pas ... bar-nemi-āyam literally mean, and how does it translate to afford?
The compound verb az pas-e [chizi] bar-āmadan literally means to emerge from behind [something]. In everyday Farsi, it is a very common idiom meaning to be able to handle, manage, or cope with a task or situation. When applied to a financial obligation like rent, it naturally translates to being able to afford it. Here, it is negated as bar-nemi-āyam (I cannot handle or afford).
Why does the word for rent have the suffix -ye in ejārebahā-ye?
The word for rent used here is ejārebahā, which is a compound of ejāre (rent) and bahā (price or value). Because bahā ends in a long vowel (the ā sound), the ezafe used to connect it to the word āpārtemān takes the form of a -ye sound, creating the phrase ejārebahā-ye āpārtemān.
Could I drop the verb and just say let alone a luxury trip? How would that change the phrase che berasad be inke?
Yes, you can drop the verb. If you follow let alone with just a noun phrase instead of a full clause, you must drop the word (that). The sentence would then end with (let alone a luxury trip). You only need when there is a conjugated verb like involved.
