Questions & Answers about یک مدیر باید علاوه بر اینکه پروژههای متعدد را بر عهده داشته باشد، به همکاران کمک کند.
Why is داشته باشد in the subjunctive form here?
The phrase علاوه بر اینکه (in addition to) frequently takes the subjunctive when describing a general requirement, expectation, or hypothetical situation. Here, the subjunctive is also doubly required because of the modal verb باید (must) at the beginning of the sentence, which dictates that both actions the manager must do take the subjunctive form.
The word باید is at the beginning, but its main verb کمک کند is at the very end. Is it normal to separate them this much?
Yes, this nested structure is very common in complex Farsi sentences. The modal باید establishes the necessity for the subject (the manager), then the secondary clause starting with علاوه بر اینکه is inserted to add the extra action, and finally the sentence resolves with the main action کمک کند.
What does the phrase بر عهده داشتن literally mean?
It literally translates to "to have on the shoulder" or "to have upon the responsibility." It is the standard compound verb in Farsi for "to be in charge of," "to be responsible for," or "to undertake" a task, duty, or project.
Why does پروژههای متعدد need the direct object marker را?
Even though "multiple projects" might sound somewhat general or indefinite in English, in this Farsi context, the projects a manager is handling are treated as a defined, specific group of things receiving the action of the verb. Because they are specific in the speaker's mind, the phrase requires the definite direct object marker را.
