Questions & Answers about مدیر اجازه نمیدهد که توسعهدهنده افزونه را خطایابی کند، مگر اینکه سرور را چک کند.
Why are both خطایابی کند and چک کند in the subjunctive mood here?
The first verb (خطایابی کند) is in the subjunctive because it follows اجازه دادن که (to allow that), a verb of permission that triggers the subjunctive in the dependent clause. The second verb (چک کند) follows the conjunction مگر اینکه (unless), which also requires the subjunctive because it expresses a hypothetical condition rather than a realized fact.
How is the word توسعهدهنده (developer) constructed?
It is a compound noun made of توسعه (development/expansion) and دهنده, the active participle of دادن (to give), literally meaning "giver of development." In modern Persian tech terminology, it is the standard translation for a software developer.
What are the roots of the tech term خطایابی (debugging)?
It literally means "error-finding." It combines خطا (error/mistake) with یابی, which is formed from the present stem of یافتن (یاب - to find) plus the suffix ـی to make it an abstract noun. When paired with کردن, it means "to debug."
Does the word افزونه (plugin) come from a verb?
Yes, it is derived from the same root as the verb افزودن (to add). It is formed by combining the adjective افزون (more/added) with the noun-forming suffix ـه (-e), perfectly capturing the idea of a "plugin" or "extension" as something added to a program.
In the English translation, "unless he checks" is ambiguous about whether it's the manager or the developer. Is this also ambiguous in Farsi?
Yes, it is just as ambiguous in Farsi. Because Farsi pronouns are gender-neutral and often dropped, the verb چک کند (he/she/it checks) only tells us it is a third-person singular subject. A native speaker would rely entirely on the real-world context of the conversation to know who is supposed to check the server.
