In Other Words
When you need to clarify a statement or rephrase a concept, use the discourse marker به عبارت دیگر (in other words).
| in other words | به عبارت دیگرbe ebârat-e digar |
Literally meaning "in another phrase," it is useful when describing technical processes—like shaping molten glass—where you might follow an analogy with a literal explanation.
| The glass in the furnace becomes like a paste; in other words, it takes on a malleable state. | شیشه در کوره مثل خمیر میشود؛ به عبارت دیگر، حالت شکلپذیر پیدا میکند.shishe dar kure mesl-e khamir mishavad; be ebârat-e digar, hâlat-e shekl-pazir peydâ mikonad. |
| Both precision and speed are important; in other words, the glass cools very quickly. | هم دقت و هم سرعت مهم است؛ به عبارت دیگر، شیشه خیلی سریع سرد میشود.ham deqqat va ham sor'at mohem ast; be ebârat-e digar, shishe kheyli sari' sard mishavad. |
An Alternative Synonym
You can also use the synonym به بیان دیگر (in another expression).
| in other words | به بیان دیگرbe bayân-e digar |
It functions exactly the same way and is entirely interchangeable with به عبارت دیگر.
| The glass is no longer a paste; in other words, it loses its malleable state. | شیشه دیگر خمیر نیست؛ به بیان دیگر، حالت شکلپذیر خود را از دست میدهد.shishe digar khamir nist; be bayân digar, hâlat shekl-pazir khod râ az dast mi-dahad. |
| In other words, they shape the glass with air. | به بیان دیگر، آنها با هوا به شیشه شکل میدهند.be bayâne digar, ânhâ bâ havâ be shishe shekl mi-dahand. |
Punctuation
When these markers connect two related clauses, they are usually preceded by a semicolon (؛) and followed by a comma (،).
| Instead of a machine, he blows inside the pipe; in other words, the process is completely manual. | به جای دستگاه، او داخل لوله میدمد؛ به عبارت دیگر، فرآیند کاملاً دستی است.be jâ-ye dastgâh, u dâkhel-e lule midamad; be ebârat-e digar, farâyand kâmelan dasti ast. |
They can also start a new sentence to clarify the previous thought.
| In other words, it is impossible to change its state. | به عبارت دیگر، تغییر دادن حالت آن غیرممکن است.be ebârat-e digar, taghyir dâdan-e hâlat-e ân gheyrmomken ast. |
