Questions & Answers about شما حق ندارید که رفتار او را عوض کنید.
The lesson is about ejâze dâshtan (to be allowed). Why does this sentence use hagh nadârid?
hagh dâshtan means "to have the right". It works structurally exactly like ejâze dâshtan. Both phrases express permission or rights, and both trigger the exact same grammar rule: they are followed by ke (that) and the present subjunctive form of the second verb.
Why doesn't the subjunctive verb avaz konid (change) have the be- prefix?
avaz kardan (to change) is a compound verb. When making compound verbs subjunctive, we conjugate the helper verb (here, kardan) with the right personal ending. While you can sometimes use the be- prefix and say avaz bekonid, native speakers usually drop it for compound verbs with kardan, making it simply avaz konid.
How do we link the words to say "his behavior" here?
By using the hidden ezâfe linking vowel. You connect raftâr (behavior) to u (he/she/it) by pronouncing an "e" sound between them: raftâr-e u. As usual, this short vowel is not written out in the Farsi script.
Why does the object marker râ come after u (his) instead of right after raftâr (behavior)?
The word râ must follow the entire direct object phrase, not just the first noun. Since the complete thing you are not allowed to change is "his behavior" (), the is placed at the very end of that entire group of words.
