Questions & Answers about یک صندلی ارگونومیک باعث میشود که درست بنشینید.
Why is the verb for sitting (beneshinid) in the subjunctive mood rather than the regular present tense?
The phrase bâ'es shodan (to cause) requires the verb of the resulting action to be in the present subjunctive mood. Because the chair causes the sitting to happen, the second clause must use the subjunctive beneshinid instead of the indicative mineshinid.
The subject of the sentence is an inanimate object (the chair). How does the second verb end up in the shomâ (you) form?
This sentence contains two separate clauses with two different subjects. The chair is the subject doing the causing (bâ'es mishavad), but 'you' are the subject doing the sitting (beneshinid). Farsi frequently uses the second person plural to represent a general 'you' or 'one', just like in English.
Is it possible to drop the word ke after mishavad?
Yes, just like in English where you can often drop 'that', the word ke can be omitted in Farsi. Saying yek sandali-ye ergonomik bâ'es mishavad dorost beneshinid is very common and sounds completely natural, especially in spoken Farsi.
How do we know dorost means 'correctly' here instead of 'correct'?
In Farsi, many adjectives can act directly as adverbs without needing a special suffix like '-ly' in English. Because dorost is placed right before the verb beneshinid, it describes how you sit, functioning as an adverb meaning 'correctly' or 'properly'.
