Questions & Answers about من از اینکه او امروز نمیآید آگاه هستم.
Why do we use az in ke here instead of just ke?
The adjective agah (aware) pairs with the preposition az (of) to mean 'aware of'. In Farsi, you cannot attach a preposition directly to a clause. You must use in ke (literally 'this that' or 'the fact that') as a bridge between the preposition az and the clause that follows.
Why is the verb nemi-ayad in the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive?
The mood of the verb in the in ke clause depends on the main clause. Because being aware (agah hastam) expresses certainty and states a fact rather than a doubt, desire, or possibility, the following verb remains in the normal indicative mood (nemi-ayad).
Why is agah hastam placed at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi is a Subject-Object-Verb language, meaning the main verb naturally goes at the end. Here, the subject is man (I) and the main verb phrase is agah hastam (am aware). The entire prepositional clause about what you are aware of gets placed between them.
Could I drop the subject pronouns man and u in this sentence?
Yes, you could say az in ke emruz nemi-ayad agah hastam. The verb endings -ad (for he/she) and -am (for I) already make it clear who is doing what. Including man and u just adds a bit of emphasis.
