Questions & Answers about قرار است که مدیر ضوابط سختگیرانهای اعمال کند.
Why is the verb اعمال کند in the subjunctive mood here?
It follows the phrase قرار است که (it is planned that / is supposed to). Phrases expressing plans, schedules, or intentions trigger the subjunctive mood in the following verb, just like when you use باید (must) or میخواهد (wants to).
What is the singular form of ضوابط, and why is it used instead of a standard plural?
ضوابط is the Arabic broken plural of ضابطه (rule/criterion). In formal Farsi, Arabic broken plurals are very common, especially in legal, administrative, or corporate contexts like a manager setting rules. While you could technically say ضابطهها, ضوابط sounds much more natural and professional here.
Why does سختگیرانهای end with an ای?
It carries the indefinite suffix ی (meaning 'a', 'an', or 'some'). The core adjective is سختگیرانه (strict), which ends in a silent 'he'. Because the phrase is indefinite (the manager is applying some strict criteria), the suffix attaches to the very end of the noun-adjective block. When a word ends in a silent 'he', the indefinite suffix is written as ای to bridge the vowels, forming ضوابط سختگیرانهای.
The verb is اعمال کند. What does اعمال mean on its own?
On its own, the Arabic loanword اعمال means 'application', 'enforcement', or 'exertion'. Combined with کردن (to do), the compound verb اعمال کردن is a formal verb meaning 'to apply', 'to implement', or 'to enforce' (used heavily for rules, laws, policies, or pressure).
How would we add the lesson's target phrase به استثنای to say '...applies strict criteria, with the exception of dress rules'?
You can insert it as a prepositional phrase right after the object to specify what is excluded. For example: قرار است که مدیر ضوابط سختگیرانهای به استثنای قوانین پوشش اعمال کند (It is planned that the manager applies strict criteria, with the exception of dress rules). The formal phrase به استثنای (be esthesnâ-ye) links directly to the noun being excluded.
