in the meantime

در این اثنا، تا آن زمان

(During the time before something happens.)

We will move to a new building by the end of the year. In the meantime, we have to make do with the current facilities.

ما تا آخر سال به ساختمان جدیدی نقل مکان خواهیم کرد. تا آن زمان باید با تأسیسات کنونی به سر کنیم.

مثال دیگر:

They are going to automate some of their tasks. In the meantime, they need a few more employees to cope with the current workload.

آنها می‌خواهند بعضی از کارهایشان را خودکارسازی کنند. در این اثنا، نیاز به چند کارمند جدید دارند تا بتوانند جوابگوی کارهای موجود باشند.

I am going to wash clothes now. In the mean time, can you please help me do the dishes?

So, "in the mean time" is used to denote the time between when you state the coming of a future event and the present. This means that you only need one slight change to your example. Instead of "now", you can say something like "I am going to wash clothes in an hour. In the mean time, can you please help me do the dishes?" . Does this make sense?

ainie.kashif (65) · 7 years ago

Yes, make sense indeed :)) thanks @eirsanctum.
