Questions & Answers about شاید تیم پشتیبان تدوین را به خاطر زمانبندی عقب بیندازد.
Why is the verb بیندازد in the subjunctive form here?
Because the sentence starts with شاید (shâyad), which means perhaps or might. In Farsi, when expressing a possibility using شاید, the verb that follows must be in the present subjunctive form to show that the action is not certain yet.
How does عقب بیندازد mean delay? What is the original verb?
This comes from the compound verb عقب انداختن (aqab andâkhtan), which literally means to throw back. Farsi uses this compound to mean to delay or to postpone. Here, the verb part is in the present subjunctive form, taking the ب (b-) prefix to become بیندازد (biyendâzad).
Why does the direct object marker را come right after تدوین and not after the first noun phrase?
را (râ) must follow the specific direct object of the sentence. The action being performed is delaying, and the thing being delayed is the editing, which is تدوین (tadvin). The phrase تیم پشتیبان (backup team) is the subject doing the delaying, so it does not take را.
Does به خاطر always mean because of?
Yes, به خاطر (be khâter-e) is a very common phrase meaning because of, on account of, or for the sake of. It always takes an ezafe (an invisible e sound) at the end to connect it to the noun that follows it, which here is زمانبندی (schedule).
