Questions & Answers about ما قصد داریم که ترمیم غضروف را گام به گام کامل کنیم.
How does the phrase گام به گام function here, and are there similar phrases I could use?
گام به گام (gâm be gâm) literally means "step to step." It is a gradual reduplication pattern where a noun is repeated with the preposition به (to) in the middle, functioning here as an adverb meaning "step by step." You could also use the very common synonym قدم به قدم (ghadam be ghadam) in this sentence with the exact same meaning.
Why does the object marker را come after غضروف instead of directly after ترمیم?
را marks the entire definite direct object. Here, the direct object is a noun phrase linked by an Ezafe: ترمیم غضروف (the healing of the cartilage). The object marker را must always attach to the very end of the entire noun phrase, never in the middle of an Ezafe chain.
Why is the verb کامل کنیم in the subjunctive mood?
The phrase قصد داریم (we have the intention / we intend) expresses a plan or desire. Just like with verbs of wanting, the dependent verb that follows the conjunction که must be in the subjunctive mood (کامل کنیم) because the action of completing the repair hasn't happened yet—it is merely an intended future action.
Does ترمیم just mean "healing" in a general medical sense?
Not exactly. ترمیم (tarmim) leans more heavily towards "repair," "restoration," or "mending." While it is used medically for structural things like cartilage or tissue repair, you will also frequently see it used in non-medical contexts, such as repairing buildings, roads, or even restoring diplomatic relations.
