Questions & Answers about خسته بشود نشود، او از اینکه ورزشکاران دمبل و تردمیل را ترک کنند جلوگیری میکند.
How exactly does خسته بشود نشود translate to "whether he gets tired or not"?
This is the alternative condition construction being taught in this lesson. It places the affirmative present subjunctive (بشود) and the negative present subjunctive (نشود) of the verb شدن (to become) right next to each other, without any conjunction like "or". Together, they express "he may become, he may not become," which gives us "whether he gets tired or not."
Why do we need اینکه in the phrase از اینکه? Couldn't we just use از?
The main verb جلوگیری کردن (to prevent) requires the preposition از (from). However, Farsi prepositions can only attach to nouns or pronouns, not directly to full verb clauses. Because the thing being prevented is a whole clause (the athletes abandoning the equipment), we must use اینکه (this that) to bridge the preposition and the clause.
Why is the verb ترک کنند (abandon) in the subjunctive mood here?
It is in the subjunctive because it is a dependent action connected by اینکه. The main verb جلوگیری میکند (he prevents) shows an attempt to stop something. Because the athletes abandoning the equipment is a potential or hypothetical event that he wants to avoid—rather than a confirmed fact—Farsi requires the subjunctive mood for ترک کنند.
Could I just say خسته بشود یا نه instead of repeating the verb as بشود نشود?
Yes, using یا نه (or not) is perfectly fine and very common in casual spoken Farsi. However, juxtaposing the affirmative and negative subjunctive verbs directly (بشود نشود) is a classic Farsi structure that sounds very natural, slightly more elegant, and is widely used in both speech and writing.
