To say "in order to" or "so that" in Farsi, use **برای اینکه**. Because a purpose clause expresses an intention or desired outcome, the verb following **برای اینکه** always takes the **present subjunctive**.

{{item:789240}}

The purpose clause can sit at the beginning of the sentence, or at the end:

{{item:789247}}

### Negative Purpose Clauses

If your goal is to *prevent* something from happening, make the subjunctive verb negative (usually by swapping the **بـ** prefix for **نـ**).

{{item:789255}}

### Long-Term Financial Planning

Use purpose clauses to discuss long-term life plans, like saving for retirement (**بازنشستگی**) or achieving financial independence (**استقلال**).
