Questions & Answers about بعد از اینکه ما فارغالتحصیل شده بودیم، یک شرکت تاسیس کردیم.
Why do we need اینکه in the phrase بعد از اینکه?
You use بعد از (after) directly before a noun, like in 'after class'. However, when you follow 'after' with a full clause that contains a conjugated verb (like 'we had graduated'), you must add اینکه to connect the preposition to the sentence.
Why is the first verb شده بودیم in the Past Perfect tense instead of the Simple Past?
The phrase بعد از اینکه (after) introduces an action that happened before another action. While you can use the Simple Past for both verbs, using the Past Perfect (شده بودیم, 'we had become') emphasizes that the graduation was completely finished before the second action (establishing the company) took place.
What is the literal breakdown of the word فارغالتحصیل?
This is an Arabic borrowing used frequently in Farsi. فارغ means 'finished' or 'free from', and تحصیل means 'education' or 'studying'. Together with the auxiliary verb شدن (to become), they form the compound verb فارغالتحصیل شدن (to graduate).
How is the middle part of فارغالتحصیل pronounced?
It is pronounced 'faregh-ot-tahsil'. The 'al' (ال) in the middle is an Arabic definite article. Because the following letter 't' (ت) is a 'sun letter' in Arabic pronunciation rules, the 'l' sound assimilates and changes to a 't' sound to make it flow better.
