Questions & Answers about کاش برای جوش صورت از این روتین استفاده شده بود تا شادابی برگردد.
Why do we still use از before این روتین if 'this routine' is the subject of the passive sentence?
This is the impersonal passive of a prepositional verb. The active verb is استفاده کردن از (to use). When making it passive, Farsi keeps the preposition از. Because of this preposition, 'this routine' acts as the object of the preposition rather than the grammatical subject, so the verb stays locked in the third-person singular form (استفاده شده بود). It literally translates to 'it had been used from this routine.'
Why is استفاده شده بود in the past perfect tense?
The word کاش (I wish) expresses a wish or regret. To talk about a missed opportunity or a regret in the past ('I wish it had been used'), Farsi requires the past perfect tense. If you were making a wish about a present situation ('I wish it were used right now'), you would use the past subjunctive instead.
Why is the final verb برگردد in the subjunctive mood?
The word تا here means 'so that' or 'in order to'. Whenever تا introduces a purpose or a desired goal, the following verb must be in the subjunctive mood because it describes a potential outcome, not a guaranteed reality.
Is جوش صورت a medical term for acne, or everyday language?
It is the standard, everyday phrase. جوش means a boil, rash, or pimple, and adding صورت (face) with an ezafe specifically means 'facial acne.' While there are formal medical terms, this is the expression native speakers use in daily life.
