Questions & Answers about میتوان از اینجا یک پرنده به سرپرستی گرفت، مشروط بر اینکه سرپرست سلامت آن را تضمین کند.
Why is the verb tazmin konad in the subjunctive mood?
The phrase mashrut bar in ke (on the condition that) introduces a formal stipulation or requirement. Because a condition is an expected or hypothetical action rather than an established fact, it forces the following verb into the present subjunctive, which is tazmin konad here.
Why does the first half of the sentence use gereft, which looks like the past tense?
After the impersonal modal verb mi-tavan (one can / it is possible), Farsi requires the short infinitive. The short infinitive is identical to the past stem (the 3rd person singular past tense). So gereft here acts as an infinitive meaning to take rather than the past tense took.
How does the phrase be sarparasti gereft translate to adopt?
The word sarparast means guardian or caretaker, and adding the -i suffix turns it into the noun guardianship. Paired with the verb gereftan (to take), the phrase literally means to take into guardianship, which is the standard Farsi expression for adopting a pet or a child.
In the phrase salamat-e an ra, what does an refer to and why is ra at the very end?
The pronoun an (that/it) refers back to the bird (parande). The Ezafe links health to it, forming salamat-e an (its health). Because this entire phrase is the specific direct object that the guardian must guarantee, the object marker is placed at the very end of the complete noun phrase.
