Questions & Answers about با اجازه‌ی شما می‌روم.

The lesson is about using the subjunctive with permission verbs. Why isn't the subjunctive used here?
In this sentence, we aren't using a permission verb like ejâze dâshtan (to be allowed) that would require the word ke and the subjunctive tense. Instead, we are using the simple noun phrase با اجازه‌ی شما (with your permission). Because there is no trigger verb requiring the subjunctive, the main verb می‌روم stays in the normal present tense.
Why is there an extra letter ی at the end of اجازه (ejâze)?
That is the Ezafe connecting the noun اجازه (permission) to the pronoun شما (you). Since اجازه ends in a silent 'heh' (a vowel sound), the Ezafe takes the form of a 'ye' sound to bridge the gap. It is written as اجازه‌ی and pronounced ejâze-ye.
Why is می‌روم translated as 'I will go' if it is in the present tense?
In Farsi, the present tense (verbs starting with می) is frequently used to express the immediate future. When you say می‌روم (miravam) in this situation, you mean 'I am leaving now' or 'I will go right now', which translates best as 'I will go' in English.
Is this a common phrase in everyday conversation?
Yes, extremely common! با اجازه‌ی شما (often shortened to just با اجازه in casual speech) is the standard, polite way to excuse yourself when leaving a room, ending a conversation, or departing from a gathering.
