Questions & Answers about هر کاری هم که بکنند، ما باج نمی‌دهیم، زیرا مهلت استرداد پایان یافته است.

Why is the verb bokanand in the subjunctive here instead of the normal present tense?

The phrase har kâri ham ke (no matter what they do) sets up an indefinite concessive clause. Because it refers to a hypothetical or unspecific set of actions, it requires the present subjunctive form of the verb, which is bokanand instead of the indicative mikonand.

I know dâdan is "to give," but what does bâj mean in bâj nemidahim?

bâj historically refers to a toll, tribute, or even blackmail. The compound verb bâj dâdan literally means "to pay tribute" or "to pay a ransom," but in everyday Farsi, it is a very common idiom meaning "to give in," "to yield to pressure," or "to let someone walk all over you."

Is pâyân yâftan just a more formal way of saying tamâm shodan?

Exactly. pâyân yâftan literally means "to find an end." It means the same thing as tamâm shodan (to finish or end) but has a slightly more formal, elevated tone. Here, it is in the present perfect tense (pâyân yâfteh ast) to show that the deadline has ended and that fact still affects the present situation.

Does mohlat just mean "time" in the phrase mohlat-e esterdâd?

Not exactly. While zamân or vaght mean "time" in general, mohlat specifically means a "deadline," "time limit," or "grace period." Combined with esterdâd (return or restitution) using the ezafe, it creates the specific legal or business term for "refund period."
