Questions & Answers about این دارو از اینکه بیتحرکی عضله را نابود کند جلوگیری میکند.
Why is نابود کند (destroy) in the present subjunctive form?
Because it follows از اینکه (from the fact that) in a sentence expressing prevention. Verbs of prevention like جلوگیری کردن describe blocking an action that hasn't actually happened yet, which requires the subordinate clause to use the present subjunctive.
In English, 'inactivity' is the object of 'prevents'. How does Farsi structure this differently?
English says 'prevents [noun] from [doing something]', but Farsi treats the entire prevented event as a subordinate clause. It literally translates to 'prevents from this that [noun] [does something]'. Here, بیتحرکی (inactivity) is the subject of the subordinate clause, which is why it is followed by its own direct object عضله را (the muscle) and verb نابود کند.
Why are the preposition از and the main verb جلوگیری میکند separated by such a long phrase?
The compound verb here is جلوگیری کردن از (to prevent from). Because Farsi uses Subject-Object-Verb word order, the main verb goes at the very end of the sentence. The entire clause starting with از اینکه acts as the object of the sentence, so it sits right in the middle between the subject (این دارو) and the main verb (جلوگیری میکند).
How is the noun بیتحرکی (inactivity) built?
It is created by combining the prefix بی (without) with the noun تحرک (movement or mobility) and adding the suffix , which forms abstract nouns. Together, it literally means 'lack of movement' or 'inactivity'.
