Formal Reasons: "Because" and "For"
When expressing reasons in formal, academic, or logical contexts, use the conjunction زیرا (because / for).
Grammatically, زیرا connects two independent clauses. The clause following it remains in the standard indicative mood (such as the simple present or past tense) to present a concrete fact or logical premise.
| We refute this argument, because it is neither logical nor objective. | ما این استدلال را نقض میکنیم، زیرا نه منطقی است و نه عینی.mâ in estedlâl râ naqz mikonim, zirâ na manteqi ast o na eyni. |
You will often see زیرا paired with formal compound verbs—like citing, inferring, or refuting—to explain the reasoning behind a conclusion.
| The scientists cite this factor, because its consequences are dangerous. | دانشمندان به این عامل استناد میکنند، زیرا پیامدهای آن خطرناک است.dâneshmandân be in âmel estenâd mikonand, zirâ peyâmadhâye ân khatarnâk ast. |
Whether the main statement is active or passive, زیرا smoothly connects a phenomenon to its supporting evidence.
| This phenomenon is inferred by the researcher, because the evidence is clear. | این پدیده توسط محقق استنباط میشود، زیرا مدارک واضح است.in padide tavassot mohaqqeq estenbât mishavad, zirâ madârek vâzeh ast. |
Backing Up Arguments
Because the clause following زیرا is independent, you can justify an argument by citing ongoing truths or past discoveries. Just ensure the verb remains in the indicative mood.
| The argument is absolutely objective, because we cite real data. | استدلال کاملاً عینی است، زیرا ما به دادههای واقعی استناد میکنیم.estedlâl kâmelan eyni ast, zirâ mâ be dâde-hâye vâghe'i estenâd mikonim. |
| They refute that result, because they did not find the main factor. | آنها آن نتیجه را نقض میکنند، زیرا عامل اصلی را پیدا نکردند.ânhâ ân natije râ naqz mikonand, zirâ âmel asli râ peydâ nakardand. |
| I infer this result, because you cite valid evidence. | من این نتیجه را استنباط میکنم، زیرا شما به مدارک معتبر استناد میکنید.man in natije râ estenbât mikonam, zirâ shomâ be madârek-e mo'tabar estenâd mikonid. |
