Questions & Answers about هیچچیز شامل ایاب و ذهاب شهری نمیشود، که این یک مشکل است.
Why is the verb نمیشود used here with شامل instead of نیست?
The word شامل uses the ezafe to link to the object it includes (شامل ایاب و ذهاب). It then pairs with the verb شدن to create an active compound verb meaning 'to include' or 'to cover'. While you can use the copula (است / نیست) for a static state ('is inclusive of'), using شدن is the standard way to describe what a policy, rule, or situation actively 'covers'.
I know رفت و آمد means commuting. What is ایاب و ذهاب?
ایاب و ذهاب is a formal, Arabic-derived phrase meaning exactly the same thing: 'coming and going' or 'transportation'. You will encounter it very often in official contexts, business contracts, or formal writing, whereas رفت و آمد is used in everyday conversation.
Why do we say که این یک مشکل است instead of just که یک مشکل است for 'which is a problem'?
In English, 'which' can refer back to an entire previous clause (the fact that nothing includes transportation). In Farsi, the conjunction که by itself usually connects to a specific noun. To refer back to a whole previous situation, you add a pronoun like این (this) or آن (that). You are literally saying 'that this is a problem'.
The English translation says 'Nothing includes', but the Farsi verb نمیشود is negative. Why?
Farsi relies heavily on double negatives. Whenever you use a negative word like (nothing) or (no one), the main verb of the sentence must also be in its negative form. So the Farsi literally says 'Nothing does not include'.
