Questions & Answers about بازرسان بهداشتی میخواهند که شما یک هود استیل روی اجاق داشته باشید.
Why is the subjunctive form of "to have" داشته باشید (dâshte bâshid) here, instead of using a standard be- prefix?
The verb داشتن (dâshtan, to have) is irregular in the present subjunctive. Instead of attaching a be- prefix to a present stem, it uses a present perfect structure: the past participle داشته (dâshte) combined with the subjunctive forms of the verb "to be", which in this case is باشید (bâshid) for "you". So literally, it looks like "you may have had," but it functions as a present subjunctive.
English says "they want you to have". Why does Farsi use میخواهند که (mixâhand ke) with a conjugated verb?
Unlike English, Farsi does not use an infinitive after verbs expressing desire or command for another person. Instead, you conjugate the first verb (they want), add the conjunction که (ke, that), and then conjugate the second verb in the subjunctive mood for the person doing the action. It translates literally as "they want that you have".
Does the loanword استیل (estil) just mean any kind of steel?
In everyday Farsi, استیل (estil) specifically refers to "stainless steel," which is exactly what you'd expect for a kitchen hood. If you want to talk about regular steel or the metal in a general, industrial sense, the native Farsi word is فولاد (fulâd).
Why is the plural of inspector written as بازرسان (bâzrasân) instead of using the standard -ها (-hâ) suffix?
The suffix -ان (-ân) is classically used to make plural forms for human beings, professions, and other animate nouns. While you could perfectly well say بازرسها (bâzras-hâ) in modern Farsi, using -ان sounds slightly more formal and professional, which fits a sentence about official sanitary inspectors.
