Questions & Answers about تا جایی که من مطلع هستم، این موضوع مربوط به آن رشته است.
Why is هستم in the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive here?
The phrase تا جایی که (as far as) describes a known, factual limitation based on your current knowledge, rather than a hypothetical condition. Because you are stating a fact about what you know, it takes the indicative mood (هستم) instead of the subjunctive (باشم).
What is the literal translation of the phrase تا جایی که?
Literally, it translates to 'until the place that.' The word تا means 'until' or 'up to,' جایی is 'a place' (with the indefinite ی suffix), and که means 'that.' Together, they form the standard Farsi idiom for 'as far as' or 'to the extent that.'
Could I just say میدانم instead of مطلع هستم?
Yes, you can! تا جایی که من میدانم (as far as I know) is very common in everyday speech. Using مطلع هستم (I am informed or aware) sounds a bit more formal and professional, which fits perfectly with academic or formal words like موضوع (subject) and رشته (field).
Does the word مربوط always take the preposition به?
Yes, when you want to say that something is 'related to' or 'connected to' something else, مربوط (related) is followed by the preposition به (to). This is a helpful pair to memorize together as مربوط به.
I thought the word رشته meant 'string' or 'noodle'. How does it mean 'field' here?
While رشته does literally mean 'string,' 'thread,' or 'noodle' (like in the famous soup Ash-e Reshteh), it is also the standard word for an academic 'major,' a 'field of study,' or a professional discipline. You can think of it as a 'thread' of knowledge!
