Questions & Answers about تا جایی که میتوانند، یک منبعی در این زمینه پیدا میکنند.
Why does میتوانند use the indicative (present tense) instead of the subjunctive after تا جایی که?
The phrase تا جایی که (as far as / to the extent that) takes the indicative when it describes a factual or regular action. Because this sentence is stating a general fact about what they actually do, rather than a hypothetical wish or doubt, it uses the present indicative میتوانند.
Why are both یک and the suffix ـی used in یک منبعی?
You can make a noun indefinite by using یک before it or adding the suffix ـی after it. Using both at the same time is very common in everyday Farsi to mean 'a certain' or 'some particular' thing. Here, it emphasizes they find a specific, particular source.
Does زمینه just mean 'field' as in a physical piece of land?
No, a physical field for farming would be مزرعه. The word زمینه translates to 'field' in an abstract sense, like an area of study, a topic, or a background context. So در این زمینه means 'in this subject area' or 'in this regard'.
How do we know the subject is 'they' if the word آنها isn't in the sentence?
Farsi is a pro-drop language, meaning pronoun subjects can be left out. The verbs میتوانند (they can) and پیدا میکنند (they find) both end with the third-person plural suffix ـند, which clearly tells us the subject is 'they'.
