Questions & Answers about فرضاً که یک جهان موازی وجود داشته باشد؛ چطور میتوانیم به آنجا برویم؟
Why is وجود داشته باشد in the subjunctive instead of the present indicative?
It follows the suppositional conjunction فرضاً که (let us assume that). When you introduce a hypothetical scenario or assumption using this phrase, Farsi requires the verb in that specific clause to take the present subjunctive form.
What is the double dash symbol above the alef at the end of فرضاً?
That is an Arabic tanwin marker, pronounced as an -an sound. In Farsi, it is attached to the end of Arabic loanwords to turn them into adverbs. Here, it turns the noun فرض (assumption) into the adverb فرضاً (hypothetically or supposedly).
How exactly is the subjunctive formed for the verb وجود داشتن in this sentence?
وجود داشتن (to exist) uses the verb داشتن (to have). Unlike most verbs that just add a بـ prefix for the subjunctive, compound verbs formed with داشتن use its past participle داشته plus the present subjunctive forms of to be. So for the third-person singular, it becomes وجود داشته باشد.
Why does the second half of the sentence use both the indicative میتوانیم and the subjunctive برویم?
میتوانیم is the main verb of the second clause and stays in the present indicative to ask about our actual capability in that scenario. However, the modal verb to be able to always forces the action verb that follows it into the subjunctive. Therefore, to go takes the subjunctive form برویم.
