Questions & Answers about چنانچه آنها در اجتماع شرکت کنند، دولت از آنها حمایت میکند.
How does the word ejtemâ' fit the Arabic verbal noun pattern we are learning?
Ejtemâ' perfectly follows the Form VIII Efte'âl pattern: e-C1-t-e-C2-â-C3. The root consonants here are j-m-' (from jam', meaning gathering or sum). By slotting these into the pattern (e-j-t-e-m-â-'), we get ejtemâ', which carries a reflexive meaning of coming together, translating here to gathering or society.
Why is the sentence using chenânche instead of the usual word for if, agar?
Chenânche is a slightly more formal or literary way to say if or in the event that. You will see it often in news, official statements, or formal writing, whereas agar is used in everyday speech. Just like agar, it triggers the subjunctive mood in the verb that follows it.
Why do we use the preposition az before ânhâ in the second half of the sentence?
In Farsi, the compound verb hemâyat kardan (to support) requires the preposition az to introduce the person or thing being supported. Literally, the phrasing translates closer to doing support from them, which is a structure you must memorize for certain verbs like this one or defâ' kardan (to defend).
Why is the first verb in the subjunctive (sherkat konand) but the second is in the indicative (hemâyat mikonad)?
This is a classic conditional sentence for a likely future event. The if clause uses the subjunctive (sherkat konand) to express a hypothetical condition. The main clause uses the present indicative (hemâyat mikonad) to show the certain result. Farsi frequently uses the present indicative to express future actions in conditional results.
