Questions & Answers about ما به این روند عادت کردیم.
This lesson is about verbs followed by be plus an infinitive. Why is there a noun after be here instead?
The verb aadat kardan (to get used to) requires the preposition be to introduce what you are adapting to. Just like shoru kardan uses be to link to a follow-up action (an infinitive), aadat kardan uses it to link to a thing or concept. Here, it links directly to the noun phrase in ravand (this process).
The verb aadat kardim is in the simple past tense. Could this sentence also mean we are currently used to this process?
Yes! In Farsi, stating that you got used to something in the past (aadat kardim) is the standard way to express the present state of being accustomed to it. Because the shift in habit already happened, the simple past tense is naturally used to mean we are used to it now.
I haven't seen the word ravand very often. How else is it typically used?
ravand translates to process, trend, or procedure. It is a very common B1-level word used for ongoing situations or developments, such as ravand-e darman (the treatment process) or ravand-e roshd (the growth trend).
