Questions & Answers about آنها مهارت ندارند، بنابراین استرس دارند.
Can I use پس instead of بنابراین in this sentence?
Yes, you can! Both mean "so" or "therefore" and are used to show the result of an action. بنابراین sounds a little more formal or written, like "therefore," while پس is much more common in everyday conversation, like "so." If you used پس, it would be: آنها مهارت ندارند، پس استرس دارند.
Do I always need a comma before بنابراین?
Usually, yes. Just like in English, بنابراین connects two complete thoughts. The first part states the cause (آنها مهارت ندارند), and the second part states the result. A comma separates the two clauses, and بنابراین comes right at the start of the second one.
Why does the Farsi sentence use دارند (they have) for "they are stressed"?
In Farsi, you don't usually say you "are" stressed; instead, you say you "have" stress. This sentence pairs the noun استرس (stress) with the verb داشتن (to have). So, استرس دارند literally translates to "they have stress."
The English translation says "skills" (plural), but isn't مهارت singular?
Yes, مهارت is singular here. In Farsi, when you talk about a general category or an abstract concept (like having skill or lacking it), it is very common to just use the singular form. You could say مهارتها if you were pointing out specific, individual skills, but the singular sounds much more natural for a general statement like this.
