Questions & Answers about مهم است که ما همیشه روی پیشخوان دستکش یکبارمصرف داشته باشیم.
Why do we use داشته باشیم instead of a regular subjunctive form with a be- prefix?
The verb داشتن (to have) is an exception. It does not take the regular be- prefix for the subjunctive. Instead, it uses its past participle داشته followed by the present subjunctive of "to be" (باشم, باشی, etc.). Since the subject here is ما (we), we use باشیم, giving us داشته باشیم.
How does the word یکبارمصرف break down to mean "disposable"?
It is a very logical compound word! It breaks down into یک (one), بار (time or instance), and مصرف (use or consumption). So literally, it means "single-use".
The English translation says "gloves" (plural), but دستکش is singular here. Why isn't it pluralized as دستکشها?
In Farsi, when you refer to an object in a general, non-specific sense (like "gloves in general" rather than a specific pair of gloves), you use the singular form. Saying دستکش داشته باشیم sounds much more natural for expressing the general idea of having gloves available.
Is there an ezafe connecting دستکش and یکبارمصرف?
Yes, because یکبارمصرف acts as an adjective modifying دستکش. When speaking, you link them with the ezafe vowel, pronouncing it as dastkesh-e yek-bâr-masraf.
