Questions & Answers about عرق بریزند نریزند، آنها از اینکه روی تردمیل بدوند پرهیز میکنند.
How does the phrase عرق بریزند نریزند translate to "whether they sweat or not" when there is no word for "whether" or "or"?
This sentence uses the "willy-nilly" construction taught in this lesson. By placing the affirmative present subjunctive بریزند immediately before the negative present subjunctive نریزند with no conjunctions, it creates the meaning of "whether they do the action or do not."
Why does the word عرق only appear once instead of being repeated with both subjunctive verbs?
عرق ریختن is a compound verb meaning to sweat (literally "to pour sweat"). In these alternative condition structures, you only repeat the verbal part (بریزند نریزند), while the non-verbal noun part (عرق) is stated just once at the beginning.
What triggers the subjunctive verb بدوند (run) in the second half of the sentence?
The main verb پرهیز کردن (to avoid) requires the action being avoided to be in the subjunctive. Because they avoid the act of running, the verb دویدن must take the present subjunctive form بدوند.
Why do we use از اینکه before the treadmill clause instead of just saying they avoid running?
The verb پرهیز کردن requires the preposition از. In Farsi, when you want to follow a preposition with a full subordinate clause with its own conjugated verb (they run on the treadmill), you must use اینکه (this that) as a bridge. Literally, they avoid "from this that" they run.
