Questions & Answers about مشتریها اعتراض میکنند به خاطر اینکه صورتحساب خیلی زیاد است.
Why do we use the indicative verb است after به خاطر اینکه instead of the subjunctive?
The conjunction به خاطر اینکه (because / due to the fact that) introduces a factual reason. Since the customers are reacting to a real, existing situation (the bill genuinely is high), Farsi uses the standard indicative mood (است) here, just as we would in English.
The English translation says the bill is "high", but doesn't زیاد usually mean "a lot"?
Yes! While English speakers talk about prices or bills being "high", Farsi speakers naturally describe an expensive bill as being "a lot" or "too much" by using زیاد (ziâd). Using the literal Farsi word for "high" (بالا) would sound unnatural in this context.
What is the literal breakdown of the verb اعتراض میکنند?
It comes from the compound verb اعتراض کردن (e'terâz kardan). The noun اعتراض means "objection" or "protest", and کردن is the helper verb "to do" or "to make". Literally, the customers "make an objection", which is the standard way to say "complain" or "protest" in Farsi.
How do the parts of the word صورتحساب create the meaning "bill"?
صورتحساب (surat-hesâb) is made of two words. صورت (surat) often means "face", but in business or admin contexts it means "statement" or "list". حساب (hesâb) means "account" or "calculation". Together, a "statement of account" is the bill or invoice.
