Question 1

Why isn't there a subjunctive verb in this sentence, since the lesson is about conditions?

Accepted Answer

The lesson focuses on conjunctions like به شرطی که (on the condition that) which introduce a dependent clause describing a hypothetical action. In this sentence, شرط (condition) is just acting as a regular noun subject. Because it is a simple statement of fact ("Our condition is X"), it uses the indicative verb است.

Question 2

How would you express a similar idea using the lesson's grammar, like به شرطی که (on the condition that)?

Accepted Answer

To use به شرطی که, you need to introduce an action (a verb in the subjunctive) rather than just a noun phrase. You could say something like, "We accept it, on the condition that you vaccinate monthly" (ما قبول می‌کنیم به شرطی که ماهانه واکسیناسیون کنید).

Question 3

How is the word ماهانه (monthly) formed?

Accepted Answer

It is made by adding the suffix ـانه (-āne) to the noun ماه (month). This is a very common suffix used to create adjectives and adverbs of frequency or manner. Other examples you might know are روزانه (daily) and سالانه (yearly).

Question 4

Where does the word واکسیناسیون come from?

Accepted Answer

واکسیناسیون is a direct loanword from French (vaccination), pronounced "vak-si-na-si-yon". Farsi borrowed many medical, bureaucratic, and scientific terms from French in the early 20th century. While you can use the compound verb واکسن زدن (to get or give a vaccine) in conversation, the noun واکسیناسیون is standard in formal and official contexts.
