When juggling a busy schedule, you often need to describe doing one task in addition to another.
Using "In addition to" (علاوه بر اینکه)
To say "in addition to doing [X]," use علاوه بر اینکه. Because this conjunction introduces a dependent clause, the verb that follows it must be in the subjunctive mood.
| In addition to managing the team, you must prioritize the tasks. | علاوه بر اینکه تیم را اداره کنی، باید کارها را اولویتبندی کنی.alâve bar inke tim râ edâre koni, bâyad kârhâ râ avlaviyat-bandi koni. |
| In addition to organizing the files, I should not forget the deadlines. | علاوه بر اینکه پروندهها را سازماندهی کنم، نباید سررسیدها را فراموش کنم.alâve bar inke parvande-hâ râ sâzmândehi konam, nabâyad sarresid-hâ râ farâmush konam. |
Using "While" or "Along with" (ضمن اینکه)
Another common conjunction is ضمن اینکه. It translates to "while," "along with," or "in the course of," and emphasizes balancing two responsibilities at the same time. Like علاوه بر اینکه, it requires the subjunctive.
| While delegating the projects, he must attend to his own busy schedule. | ضمن اینکه پروژهها را محول کند، باید به مشغلههای خود رسیدگی کند.zemn-e in-ke projhe-hâ râ mohavval konad, bâyad be mashghale-hâ-ye khod rasidegi konad. |
| While maintaining balance, a versatile employee can do many tasks. | کارمند چندکاره میتواند ضمن اینکه توازن داشته باشد، وظیفههای زیادی را انجام دهد.kârmand chandkâre mitavânad zemn-e inke tavâzon dâshte bâshad, vazife-hâ-ye ziyâdi râ anjâm dahad. |
Placement in the Sentence
These conjunctions often appear at the beginning of a sentence, but they can also sit inside the main clause. The dependent verb remains in the subjunctive regardless of placement.
| In addition to managing the team, you must also learn Persian. | شما باید علاوه بر اینکه تیم را مدیریت کنید، فارسی هم یاد بگیرید.shomâ bâyad alâve bar inke tim râ modiriyat konid, fârsi ham yâd begirid. |
| You must take care of your health, while being in charge of multiple tasks. | تو باید ضمن اینکه کارهای متعدد را بر عهده داشته باشی، مواظب سلامتی خود باشی.to bâyad zemn-e inke kârhâ-ye mota'added râ bar ohde dâshte bâshi, movâzeb-e salâmati khod bâshi. |
