Questions & Answers about ضمن اینکه انتشار کربن افزایش مییابد، اقلیم توسط انسانها تغییر داده میشود.
Why does ضمن اینکه take the indicative verb میيابد here instead of the subjunctive?
ضمن اینکه (zemn-e inke) expresses clausal addition or simultaneity, meaning "while" or "along with the fact that." Because it introduces an established, ongoing reality (carbon emissions are actively increasing) rather than a hypothetical condition or a wish, it requires the indicative mood. Therefore, we use میيابد with its standard indicative prefix.
How is the passive voice formed in the phrase تغییر داده میشود?
The active compound verb is تغییر دادن (to change something). To make a compound verb passive in Farsi, you keep the non-verbal part (تغییر), change the light verb into a past participle (دادن becomes داده), and add the conjugated form of شدن (to become). Thus, "is being changed" becomes تغییر داده میشود.
If passive sentences usually hide the "doer," why do we specify توسط انسانها (by humans) here?
In traditional Farsi grammar, you use the passive voice specifically when the agent (the doer) is unknown or unimportant, and you wouldn't normally mention them. However, in modern written Farsi, especially in news and scientific texts, it has become very common to include the agent by using توسط (by means of / via), closely mirroring how "by" is used in English passives.
Why use میيابد for the verb "increases" instead of the more commonly spoken پیدا میکند?
The compound verb is the formal, written equivalent of the everyday phrase . Because this sentence deals with a formal, academic topic (climate change and carbon emissions), the formal verb root (present stem: ) fits the tone much better than its conversational counterpart.
