Questions & Answers about فرضاً که این تداخل یک پارادوکس باشد؛ چطور میتوانیم آن را متوقف کنیم؟
Why do we use باشد instead of است in the first half of the sentence?
The phrase فرضاً که (let us assume that) sets up a hypothetical situation. In Farsi, when you use suppositional conjunctions to introduce an assumption, the verb that follows must be in the present subjunctive. For the verb to be, the present subjunctive form is باشد.
What exactly is the -اً ending on فرضاً?
It is the Arabic adverbial suffix known as tanvin. It takes the noun فرض (assumption or supposition) and turns it into the adverb فرضاً (hypothetically or let us assume). You have likely seen this same suffix on very common words like لطفاً (please) and مثلاً (for example).
Why is the final verb متوقف کنیم also in the subjunctive? Is it because of فرضاً که?
No, the grammatical effect of فرضاً که ends at the semicolon. The verb متوقف کنیم is in the subjunctive because it follows میتوانیم (we can). As a reminder from earlier lessons, whenever you use a modal verb like can, must, or want, the second verb in the chain must take the subjunctive form.
The word تداخل (interference) looks familiar. Is it related to داخل (inside)?
Yes, it is! Both words share the same Arabic three-letter root (d-kh-l). While داخل simply means inside, تداخل is a specific noun form that describes things entering into one another, which is why it translates to interference, overlap, or crossing.
