Questions & Answers about فصلها یکی پس از دیگری سپری میشود، بی آنکه ما تغییر تدریجی محسوسی را حس کنیم.
Why is the verb hes konim in the present subjunctive?
The conjunction bi ânke, meaning "without [doing]", introduces a formal negative clause of manner. It always requires the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood. Here, it triggers the present subjunctive hes konim to express an action that does not actually happen.
The subject faslhâ is plural, so why is the verb mishavad singular instead of the plural mishavand?
In Farsi, plural inanimate objects like faslhâ typically take a singular verb. While you might occasionally see a plural verb used for inanimate subjects in poetry to personify them, using the singular verb mishavad is the standard grammatical rule.
How does the phrase yeki pas az digari break down?
It is a fixed expression that translates perfectly to "one after another." The word yeki means "one," pas az is a slightly more formal way to say "after" (instead of ba'd az), and digari means "the other."
Why does mahsusi have an indefinite -i ending but is still followed by the definite object marker râ?
Adding râ after a noun phrase ending in the indefinite -i emphasizes a specific but unidentified thing. Instead of meaning "any gradual change," the combination of -i and râ in taghyir-e tadriji-ye mahsusi râ translates closer to "a certain perceptible gradual change."
How do the words connect in the noun phrase تغییر تدریجی محسوسی?
They are linked by the Ezafe, forming the chain taghyir-e tadriji-ye mahsusi. Notice that because tadriji ends in a vowel, it needs the consonant -ye instead of just -e to smoothly connect to the final adjective.
