Indicating That
To link a noun like "evidence" (شواهد) or "report" to a clause explaining exactly what it shows, Farsi uses the phrase حاکی از اینکه (indicating that). It literally translates to "indicative of this that" and introduces a descriptive clause.
| We found evidence indicating that a formidable storm will form. | ما شواهدی حاکی از اینکه یک طوفان سهمگین شکل خواهد گرفت پیدا کردیم.mâ shavâhedi hâki az inke yek tufân sahmgin shekl khâhad gereft peydâ kardim. |
| Are there any reports indicating that the weather will become better? | آیا گزارشهایی حاکی از اینکه هوا بهتر خواهد شد وجود دارد؟âyâ gozâresh-hâyi hâki az inke havâ behtar khâhad shod vojud dârad? |
Based on the Fact That
A very similar and interchangeable phrase is مبنی بر اینکه (indicating that / based on the fact that). It functions exactly like the previous phrase to introduce a reporting clause.
You will frequently hear this on the news when discussing an approaching mass (توده) of air or weather threats to coastal (ساحلی) areas.
| We received a report indicating that a cold air mass is approaching. | گزارشی مبنی بر اینکه یک توده هوای سرد نزدیک میشود گرفتیم.gozâreshi mabni bar inke yek tude-ye havâ-ye sard nazdik mishavad gereftim |
| There is no evidence indicating that the formidable storm will reach the coastal area. | هیچ شواهدی مبنی بر اینکه طوفان سهمگین به منطقه ساحلی میرسد وجود ندارد.hich shavâhedi mabni bar in-ke toofân sahmgin be mantaghe-ye sâheli mi-resad vojud nadârad. |
Meteorology and Fronts
When discussing meteorology (هواشناسی) and weather fronts (جبهه), you don't always need complex reporting clauses. Sometimes, the radar or weather models simply "show that" (نشان میدهند که) a new system is forming.
| Meteorology models show that a new front is forming. | مدلهای هواشناسی نشان میدهند که یک جبهه جدید در حال شکل گرفتن است.modelhâ-ye havâshenâsi neshân midahand ke yek jabhe jadid dar hâl-e shekl gereftan ast. |
| The radar shows that the storm will take shape tomorrow. | رادار نشان میدهد که طوفان فردا شکل خواهد گرفت.râdâr neshân midahad ke tufân fardâ shekl khâhad gereft. |
Destructive Weather Events
When forecasting extreme storms, experts track the occurrence (وقوع) of devastating phenomena like a tornado (گردباد). To describe something as destructive or devastating, use the adjective ویرانگر.
| Experts have published reports indicating that the occurrence of a tornado is certain. | کارشناسان گزارشهایی مبنی بر اینکه وقوع گردباد قطعی است منتشر کردهاند.kârshenâsân gozâresh-hâyi mabni bar in-ke voqu'-e gerdbâd qat'i ast montasher karde-and. |
| Their models indicating that a destructive tornado is forming were very accurate. | مدلهایشان حاکی از اینکه یک گردباد ویرانگر شکل میگیرد، بسیار دقیق بود.modelhâyeshân hâki az in-ke yek gerdbâd virângar shekl migirad, besyâr daqiq bud. |
| They sent a message for us indicating that the occurrence of a flood is near. | آنها پیامی مبنی بر اینکه وقوع سیل نزدیک است برای ما فرستادند.ânhâ payâmi mabni bar in ke voqu'e seyl nazdik ast barâye mâ ferestâdand. |
