Questions & Answers about پیراهنهای خود را تا جایی که ممکن است منظم تا کنید.
Why does the word tâ appear twice in this sentence, and do they mean the same thing?
No, they are completely different! The first tâ means 'until' or 'to' and is part of the fixed expression tâ jây-i ke (to the point that). The second tâ is part of the compound verb tâ kardan (to fold). It is just a coincidence that they look and sound exactly the same.
How is the target phrase tâ jây-i ke momken ast positioned with the adverb monazzam (neatly)?
In Farsi, expressions of maximum capacity like tâ jây-i ke momken ast (literally 'to a place that is possible') are placed right before the adjective or adverb they modify. Together, tâ jây-i ke momken ast monazzam smoothly translates to 'as neatly as possible.'
Could I use tâ hadd-e emkân instead of tâ jây-i ke momken ast in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely. You could say tâ hadd-e emkân monazzam tâ konid. Both phrases mean 'as much as possible' or 'to the extent possible.' The phrase tâ jây-i ke momken ast feels a bit more conversational, while tâ hadd-e emkân uses Arabic-derived nouns and can sound slightly more formal or written, though both are completely natural here.
Why does the sentence use khod for 'your' instead of a normal possessive ending?
