Questions & Answers about مشتری پرسید که آیا واسه فعال کردن اشتراک راهنمایی میده.
Why is the verb میده in the present indicative instead of the subjunctive?
In reported questions, the tense usually stays exactly as it was in the original direct question. The customer originally asked a factual question: 'Does he give guidance?' Since it is a statement of fact or habit rather than a hypothetical 'Should he give guidance?', it remains in the present indicative.
Do we always have to use both که and آیا to mean 'if' in reported questions?
No. In everyday spoken Farsi, people often drop آیا and just use که. Using که آیا together is grammatically very clear but a bit formal, which creates an interesting contrast here since the sentence also contains very casual spoken words like واسه (for) and میده (gives).
Why do we use the full infinitive فعال کردن (to activate) right after the preposition واسه (for)?
When English uses an '-ing' verb after a preposition (like 'for activating'), Farsi simply uses the full infinitive. So, واسه فعال کردن directly translates to 'for activating' in this context.
The English translation says 'provides', but isn't میده the verb for 'gives'?
Yes, میده is the colloquial spoken form of میدهد (he/she gives). In Farsi, to express 'advising' or 'providing guidance', you commonly use the compound structure راهنمایی دادن (literally 'to give guidance').
