Questions & Answers about بعد از اینکه حادثه رخ داد، رسانهها خبر را اعلام کردند.
Why is رخ داد (occurred) in the simple past tense here instead of the subjunctive?
While بعد از اینکه (after) often requires the subjunctive for future events, it takes an indicative tense like the simple past when describing completed actions. Because the incident already happened, we use the simple past رخ داد.
What makes up the compound verb رخ داد?
It comes from the infinitive رخ دادن (to happen or occur). The word رخ means 'face' or 'appearance', and دادن means 'to give'. So it literally translates to 'gave face' or 'showed its face'.
Why do we use the word را after خبر (news)?
The word را marks a specific direct object. The media isn't just announcing general news; they are announcing the specific news about this incident. Therefore, خبر needs را.
How is the word رسانهها (the media) built?
It is the plural of رسانه (medium or media outlet), created by adding the regular plural suffix ها. Farsi uses this plural form to talk about 'the media' as a collective group of news outlets.
