Questions & Answers about مدیر سرپرستی حیوان را به شما میدهد، در صورتی که صلاحیت رفاه آن را داشته باشید.
Why is داشته باشید in the subjunctive form instead of the regular present tense?
Because it follows در صورتی که (provided that / in case). This conjunction introduces a condition that must be met in the future, which triggers the subjunctive mood for the verb in its clause. As a quick refresher, the present subjunctive for the verb 'to have' is uniquely formed using داشته followed by the subjunctive endings of 'to be' (like باشم, باشی, باشد, etc.).
Why are there two را markers in this sentence?
Because the sentence is made up of two separate clauses, and each has its own specific direct object. The first را indicates that سرپرستی حیوان (the animal's guardianship) is the specific thing being given. The second را indicates that صلاحیت رفاه آن (the qualification for its welfare) is the specific thing you must possess.
Why is the present tense verb میدهد translated as the future 'will give'?
In Farsi, the present indicative tense is very frequently used to express future actions. This is especially true in conditional sentences where an outcome depends on a requirement being met first. While a formal future tense does exist in Farsi, using the present tense like میدهد is much more common and natural in everyday communication.
How do the words in صلاحیت رفاه آن connect to mean 'the qualification for its welfare'?
They are connected by the Ezafe grammar rule, which uses an invisible 'e' or 'ye' sound to link nouns and modifiers. Literally, it translates to a chain meaning 'qualification (of) welfare (of) that'. The word آن (that / it) acts as a pronoun referring back to the animal, taking the place of a possessive ending.
