Questions & Answers about شما میتوانید این سگ را به خانه ببرید، مشروط بر اینکه بیش از حد آن را تنها نگذارید.
Why does the verb نگذارید take the subjunctive form here?
The phrase مشروط بر اینکه (on the condition that) introduces a stipulation about an unrealized future action. Any clause following this conjunction must take the present subjunctive mood, which in this negative form is نگذارید (that you do not leave).
Is there a difference in usage between مشروط بر اینکه and به شرطی که?
Grammatically, they function exactly the same way and both require the following verb to be in the present subjunctive. The main difference is tone: مشروط بر اینکه is highly formal and typically used in written texts, official agreements, or serious stipulations, while به شرطی که is the standard, everyday phrase for 'on the condition that'.
Why use گذاشتن (to put/let) here instead of ترک کردن for the English verb 'to leave'?
While ترک کردن means to physically leave a location or permanently abandon something, the concept of 'leaving someone/something alone' (giving them privacy or isolating them) requires the specific compound verb تنها گذاشتن (literally 'to put alone').
How does the phrase بیش از حد construct the meaning of 'excessively'?
It literally translates to 'more than the limit.' بیش means 'more,' از means 'than' or 'from,' and حد means 'limit' or 'boundary.' It acts as an adverbial phrase and is the standard way to express 'too much' or 'excessively' in Farsi.
