Questions & Answers about بپذیری نپذیری، خودت باید این دمبل سنگین را برداری تا ضربان قلبت بالا برود.
How does بپذیری نپذیری mean "whether you accept it or not" when there are no words for "whether" or "or"?
This is the "willy-nilly" construction. By placing the affirmative present subjunctive (بپذیری) right next to the negative present subjunctive (نپذیری) of the same verb, it automatically means "whether you do the action or not". You don't need any conjunctions to express this in Farsi.
Would it be wrong to put یا (or) between the two verbs?
Yes, for this specific structure. The essence of this alternative condition is that you juxtapose the positive and negative forms directly. Adding a conjunction like یا breaks the fixed idiom.
Why doesn't the subjunctive verb برداری (pick up) get the usual بـ prefix after باید?
The infinitive is برداشتن, which already starts with the verbal prefix بر. When a verb has a built-in prefix like this, it blocks the usual subjunctive بـ from attaching. Therefore, the subjunctive form looks just like it does here, without an extra بـ.
What rule makes بالا برود (goes up) take the subjunctive form at the end of the sentence?
The word تا translates to "so that" or "in order to" here. Because it sets up a goal or purpose that hasn't happened yet, the verb that follows it must be in the subjunctive mood.
