Questions & Answers about به هر حال، مدیرا دیگه وقتکشی نمیکنن.
How is be har hâl being used at the start of this sentence?
Be har hâl translates to "anyway" or "in any case." As a discourse marker, it is used here to dismiss whatever was just said (such as a previous excuse, a complaint, or a conversational tangent) and firmly bring the focus back to the main point: that the managers are no longer wasting time.
What is the literal translation of the compound noun vaght-koshi?
It literally means "time-killing." It is formed from vaght (time) and koshi (the noun form of killing, derived from the verb koshtan). Together, it means "wasting time," "stalling," or "procrastinating."
Why is the verb ne-mi-kon-an negative when the English translation says "no longer"?
In Farsi, "no longer" or "not anymore" is expressed by combining the adverb dige (anymore) with a negative verb. While English uses the negative phrase "no longer" with a positive verb, Farsi structures it as "anymore don't" (dige ... ne-mi-kon-an).
Why is the plural of manager written as modir-â instead of modir-hâ?
Modir-â is the standard colloquial pronunciation of modir-hâ. In everyday spoken Farsi, the plural suffix -hâ often drops its "h" and attaches directly to consonant-ending words as a simple -â sound.
