Questions & Answers about علاوه بر اینکه پروندهها را سازماندهی کنم، نباید سررسیدها را فراموش کنم.
Why is the verb سازماندهی کنم in the subjunctive here?
It follows the subordinating conjunction علاوه بر اینکه (alâve bar inke), which translates to "in addition to (the fact that)". When you use this conjunction to introduce an action you need to do, intend to do, or do generally, it requires the subjunctive mood in its clause.
Can I use ضمن اینکه (zemen-e inke) instead of علاوه بر اینکه in this sentence?
Yes, you can. ضمن اینکه also means "along with" or "in addition to" and functions identically here, taking the subjunctive. علاوه بر اینکه often feels slightly more emphatic about stacking tasks or facts on top of one another, whereas ضمن اینکه can feel a bit more like "while doing X, I also do Y."
Why don't the subjunctive verbs سازماندهی کنم and فراموش کنم have the usual بـ (be-) prefix?
Both are compound verbs that use the light verb کردن (kardan). In standard modern Farsi, the بـ prefix is almost always dropped from the subjunctive form of compound verbs. So, instead of the clunky سازماندهی بکنم, it is simply سازماندهی کنم.
What is the literal breakdown of the word for deadlines, سررسیدها?
سررسید (sarrasid) literally combines سر (head/end) and رسید (arrived). It originally refers to the maturity date or due date of a financial contract (like a check or loan). In modern office contexts, it is the standard word for project "deadlines". Interestingly, it is also the common word for a physical daily planner or datebook!
