Sharing a professional workspace requires clear boundaries and ground rules.
| We work in a shared office. | ما در یک دفتر مشترک کار میکنیم.mâ dar yek daftar moshtarak kâr mikonim. |
To state a strict rule alongside its only exception, use the conjunction مگر اینکه (unless).
The Conjunction: مگر اینکه
Because مگر اینکه introduces a dependent condition, the verb following it must always take the present subjunctive.
| A verbal agreement is useless, unless we trust each other. | توافق شفاهی بیفایده است، مگر اینکه به یکدیگر اعتماد کنیم.tavâfoqe shafâhi bifâyede ast, magar inke be yekdigar e'temâd konim. |
Notice how the main clause states the rule, while the clause following مگر اینکه switches to the subjunctive (اعتماد کنیم).
| He wants a private office, unless we divide this place fairly. | او دفتر خصوصی میخواهد، مگر اینکه اینجا را عادلانه تقسیم کنیم.u daftar khosusi mikhâhad, magar inke injâ râ âdelâne taqsim konim. |
| I do not interfere in your work, unless you ruin the order of the office. | من در کار تو دخالت نمیکنم، مگر اینکه نظم دفتر را خراب کنی.man dar kâr-e to dekhâlat nemikonam, magar inke nazm-e daftar râ kharâb koni. |
If the condition involves the verb "to be", use its present subjunctive form, built on the stem باشـ.
| This warehouse is private, unless you are a worker. | این انبار خصوصی است، مگر اینکه کارگر باشید.in anbâr khosusi ast, magar inke kârgar bâshid. |
| I do not do the cleaning, unless you sign a written agreement. | من نظافت را انجام نمیدهم، مگر اینکه یک توافق کتبی امضا کنی.man nezâfat râ anjâm nemidaham, magar inke yek tavâfoq ketabi emzâ koni. |
