Questions & Answers about اگرچه تعدیل سخت است، برای تسهیل کسب و کار مفید است.

I see both تعدیل and تسهیل in this sentence. How do they fit the "ta-C1-C2-i-C3" pattern we are learning?

Both words are Arabic Form II verbal nouns, which generally express the action of causing something to be a certain way. تعدیل (ta'dil) comes from the root for balance or justice (ayn-dal-lam) and literally means "adjusting." تسهیل (tashil) comes from the root for easy (sin-he-lam) and means "making easy" or "facilitation."

If تعدیل literally means "adjusting," why does it mean "downsizing" here?

In modern Farsi corporate contexts, تعدیل نیرو (ta'dil-e niru), which means "adjusting the workforce," is used as a polite euphemism for layoffs. Over time, simply saying تعدیل became the standard shorthand for business downsizing.

Does the conjunction اگرچه (although) require a subjunctive verb, since it contains the word اگر (if)?

No, because اگرچه introduces a factual contrast ("Although it is difficult...") rather than a hypothetical condition. Because it reflects reality, it takes the present indicative verb است (is), unlike اگر which triggers the subjunctive.

What is the structure of the phrase کسب و کار?

The phrase کسب و کار (kasb-o-kar) is a fixed compound noun meaning "business" or "trade." It literally joins کسب (earning/acquisition) and کار (work) with an "o" (and). Farsi frequently pairs two related nouns like this to create a single, broader concept.
