Questions & Answers about ما تصمیم گرفتیم که از ماه آینده به بعد، او را تماموقت استخدام کنیم.
How exactly does the structure az ... be ba'd frame the time in this sentence?
This structure acts as a circumposition, meaning it wraps around a time phrase to indicate continuous relevance from that point onwards. Here, az means from, and be ba'd means to after. When you place the specific time mah-e ayandeh (next month) in the middle, it establishes a continuous timeframe starting in the future.
Why is the second verb estekhdam konim in the present subjunctive when the first verb tasmim gereftim is in the past tense?
Verbs following intention phrases like tasmim gereftan ke (to decide that) must take the subjunctive mood. Even though the decision happened in the past (tasmim gereftim), the hiring itself is a planned future action, requiring the present subjunctive estekhdam konim.
Could we place the object marker ra after tamam-vaght instead of right after u?
No, ra must immediately follow the definite direct object. The specific object being hired is u (him or her). The word tamam-vaght (full-time) acts as an adverb modifying how the person is hired, so it is entirely separate from the object and cannot take the ra marker.
Can be ba'd be used on its own without the az at the beginning?
Yes, but only if the starting time is already obvious from the conversation. In those cases, be ba'd alone simply means afterwards or from then on. Since this sentence explicitly introduces a new starting point (next month), it requires the full az ... be ba'd pairing.
