Questions & Answers about با اینکه بیمار بود، همیشه شاکر و صالح بود.
The word shâker means "thankful." How does this relate to other words for thanks, like shokr or tashakkor?
shâker follows the Arabic active participle pattern called Fâ'el (C1-â-C2-e-C3). The root consonants here are sh-k-r, which relate to gratitude (seen in shokr or tashakkor). By putting those into the Fâ'el pattern, we get shâker, which literally means "the one who does the action of the root" — so, "the thanker" or "thankful."
Is sâleh (righteous) formed the same way as shâker?
Yes, it uses the exact same Fâ'el (C1-â-C2-e-C3) pattern. The root is s-l-h, which carries the meaning of peace, goodness, or reconciliation. You might recognize this root in words like solh (peace). Inserted into the active participle pattern, it becomes sâleh, meaning "a person who is good or righteous."
Why is bâ in-ke used here for "even though" instead of just bâ in?
bâ in literally means "with this" and must be followed by a noun or noun phrase (like "despite this fact"). Because we want to follow it with a full clause that has its own verb (bimâr bud), we have to add ke (that) to connect the clause. So bâ in-ke translates to "despite the fact that" or "even though."
Doesn't bâ in-ke usually require the subjunctive mood for the following verb? Why is it bud instead of ?
