Dari (Colloquial): ای قسم قالین هیچ وقت ارزان نمی‌باشه

[G_mut]

Hi everybody. Could somebody please explain what difference there is, if any, in meaning between the following sentences:

ای قسم قالین هیچ وقت ارزان نمی‌باشه
ای قسم قالین هیچ وقت ارزان نیس

I would also very much like to understand when each of the two different forms in bold is used.

Thanks in advance!

In Persian (Farsi of Iran) I've never heard نمی‌باشه
If you want to make a prediction about the price of قالی (not قالین) you can say:
این قسم قالی هیچ وقت ارزان نمی‌شه (informal)
این قسم قالی هیچ وقت ارزان نمی‌شود (formal)

You may also hear نمی‌باشد which is negative subjunctive form of the verb بودن (to be). It is quite formal and rarely used in everyday speech.
نیس however, is the informal way of saying نیست and is simple present tense of (to be) بودن

....You may also hear نمی‌باشد which is negative subjunctive form of the verb بودن (to be). It is quite formal and rarely used in everyday speech.

Are you sure it is the subjunctive form? I would say it is the present indicative.

@G_mut, please allow me to explain the difference between نمیباشد and نیست. I won't use the sentences that you have provided as I feel there is a problem with them with the inclusion of هیچ وقت being included in both.

Generally speaking, most people would say that نمیباشد and نیست are equivalent and both mean " is not". But in the right context, there is a subtle difference.

نمیباشد would mean "is not" as a matter of habit, as a rule۔

People say, "Every seeker is (always) a finder"
I seek you but never find (you)! what is this?

مرا شکیب نمی‌باشد ای مسلمانان
ز روی خوب، لکم دینُکم ولی دینی

سعدی

I dont have the patience O Muslims to avoid a pretty face
At your disposal is your belief and to me belongs my faith

I habitually don't have the patience.....

If you knew Urdu, I would be able to explain to you the difference quite easily!

«می‌باشد» غلط «نمی‌باشد»!
