Questions & Answers about بعد از اینکه آپارتمان را فروختند، سهام خریدند برای اینکه پولدار شوند.
Why is shavand in the present subjunctive when the rest of the sentence is in the past tense?
The phrase barâ-ye inke (so that / in order to) introduces an explicit purpose or intention. Because becoming wealthy was a potential goal when they bought the shares rather than a completed action, Farsi requires the present subjunctive for the verb that follows it, regardless of the main sentence's tense.
Why does ba'd az inke take the past simple tense (forukhtand) instead of the subjunctive like the second half of the sentence?
While barâ-ye inke describes a hypothetical goal, ba'd az inke (after) here refers to a factual, completed action. Since the action of selling the apartment actually happened in the past, it simply takes the standard past tense.
Why is there no râ after sahâm (shares), but there is one after âpârtemân (apartment)?
The object marker râ is only used for specific direct objects. In this sentence, they are buying generic, non-specific shares (they bought shares), so sahâm does not take râ. However, they sold a specific apartment (the apartment), making âpârtemân râ necessary.
How does the word puldâr mean wealthy?
It is formed by combining the noun pul (money) with the suffix -dâr (having or possessing). This suffix comes from the present stem of the verb dâshtan (to have), so puldâr literally translates to money-having.
