Questions & Answers about او قبل از اینکه در بورس سرمایهگذاری کند، خبرها را میخواند برای اینکه سهام خوبی بخرد.
Why is the verb bekharad in the subjunctive form?
It follows barâ-ye inke (in order to / so that), which introduces an explicit purpose clause. When we state the purpose or intention of an action, the verb in that clause must be in the present subjunctive, which is why we use bekharad instead of the indicative mi-kharad.
Can barâ-ye inke also mean "because"? How do I know it means "in order to" here?
Yes, barâ-ye inke is very commonly used to mean "because". You can usually tell the difference by looking at the verb that follows it. If it means "because" (stating a fact), it takes an indicative verb. Here, it is followed by a subjunctive verb (bekharad), which shows a planned intent or purpose, so it translates to "in order to" or "so that".
Why is the first verb, sarmâye-gozâri konad, also in the subjunctive?
Just like the purpose clause, the conjunction qabl az inke (before) always triggers the subjunctive in Farsi. Even though the English translation says "Before she invests" (indicative), Farsi uses the subjunctive because the action hasn't actually happened yet at the time of the main verb.
Why is there an -i at the end of khubi in sahâm-e khubi?
This is the indefinite -i, which translates to "a" or "some". When a noun is modified by an adjective, this -i attaches to the very end of the noun phrase (onto the adjective) rather than the noun itself. So sahâm-e khubi means "some good stocks".
