Questions & Answers about دومین مدیر در ایمیل نوشت که استعفا میدهد و بازنشسته میشود.
Why are استعفا میدهد and بازنشسته میشود in the present tense when the first verb نوشت (wrote) is in the past tense?
In English, we usually shift the tense back for reported speech, saying things like 'He wrote that he WAS resigning.' But in Farsi, we keep the exact tense the original speaker used! Since the manager originally wrote 'I am resigning and retiring' (present tense), Farsi keeps these verbs in the present tense after the connecting word که (that).
Why is it دومین مدیر instead of مدیر دوم?
Both mean 'the second manager' and both are correct! In Farsi, ordinal numbers ending in -om (like دوم) come after the noun they describe. If you add -in to make it -omin (like دومین), the number comes before the noun instead.
There is no word for 'he' after که (that). How do we know who is resigning?
In Farsi, subject pronouns are often dropped because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action. Both میدهد and میشود end in -ad, which is the 'he/she/it' ending. From the context of the sentence, we easily know this refers back to the manager.
Are استعفا میدهد and بازنشسته میشود compound verbs? What are their dictionary forms?
