Questions & Answers about ما از اینکه تیم مصمم عقبنشینی کند، میترسیم.
Why do we use از اینکه (az in-ke) here instead of just که (ke)?
The verb ترسیدن (tarsidan - to fear) requires the preposition از (az) to introduce the object of fear. When that object is a full clause (an action) rather than a simple noun, Farsi uses اینکه (in-ke, literally 'this that') as a structural bridge. It works exactly like 'of the fact that' in English.
Why is the verb عقبنشینی کند (aqab-neshini konad) in the subjunctive mood?
Verbs that express fear, doubt, or strong emotion, like ترسیدن (tarsidan), require the verb in the following dependent clause to take the subjunctive mood. Since we are expressing fear about the retreat, the compound verb عقبنشینی کردن (to retreat) takes the subjunctive form عقبنشینی کند.
How is the adjective مصمم (determined) pronounced and connected to the subject?
It is pronounced mosammam. Since it acts as an adjective modifying تیم (team), they are linked by the ezafe vowel (-e), making the spoken phrase tim-e mosammam.
