Questions & Answers about من در یک دورهی کارآموزی شرکت کردم و از آن روز به بعد حرفهی خود را تغییر دادم.
How exactly does the phrase از آن روز به بعد work, and could I just say از آن روز?
The circumposition از ... به بعد translates to "from ... onwards" or "ever since ...". While you could just say از آن روز (from that day), wrapping the time phrase with از and به بعد emphasizes that the change was a lasting state that started at that specific moment and continued permanently into the future.
Why does the sentence use حرفهی خود instead of حرفهام for "my profession"?
Both are completely correct. While حرفهام uses the standard possessive suffix "-am" (my), خود (self) is frequently used in written or slightly more formal Farsi to refer back to the subject of the sentence. Using حرفهی خود sounds a bit more polished and fits the serious context of a career change.
Does شرکت کردن (to participate) always require the preposition در (in)?
Yes! Just like the English "participate in," the compound verb شرکت کردن strongly collocates with the preposition در. Notice that در comes right at the beginning of the noun phrase representing the event, giving us در یک دورهی کارآموزی (in an internship course).
What is the literal breakdown of the word کارآموزی (internship)?
It is a highly descriptive compound word. It combines کار (work) + آموز (the present stem of آموختن, meaning to learn or teach) + ی (a suffix that creates a noun). So, it literally translates to "work-learning," which perfectly describes an apprenticeship or internship.
Could I use عوض کردم instead of تغییر دادم to mean "I changed"?
Yes, you absolutely can. عوض کردم is a very common and natural way to say "I changed" in everyday conversation. However, تغییر دادن is slightly more formal, making it the perfect stylistic choice when discussing a serious, professional topic like a career (حرفه).
