Questions & Answers about یک ساعت طول میکشد تا غذا هضم بشود و صدور پروندهی ترخیص تمام بشود.
How does the 'it takes time to...' structure work in this sentence?
The main clause states the duration using the present indicative: yek sâ'at tul mi-kashad (it takes one hour). The action that takes this time is introduced by tâ (for/until) and must be in the present subjunctive. Because there are two actions taking that time in this sentence, both appear in the subjunctive.
If tâ triggers the subjunctive, why isn't tul mi-kashad in the subjunctive?
Because tul mi-kashad is the main verb of the independent clause ("It takes one hour"). The conjunction tâ comes after it to introduce the dependent clause ("for the food to be digested..."). Only the verbs following tâ are forced into the subjunctive.
Why do the verbs at the end use beshavad (from shodan) instead of bokonad (from kardan)?
Because they describe a change of state or a passive action rather than an active one. hazm shodan means "to be digested", and tamâm shodan means "to finish" or "to be completed". The food and the issuance aren't actively doing anything; they are reaching a completed state, which requires shodan (to become).
What is the exact breakdown of the phrase sodur-e parvande-ye tarkhis?
This is an Ezafe chain linking three nouns: sodur (issuance) + -e + parvande (file) + -ye + tarkhis (discharge). Notice the use of -ye instead of -e after parvande. Because parvande ends in a silent 'heh' (which makes an 'e' vowel sound), we must use -ye to bridge the two vowel sounds.
