Question 1

Why use be dalil-e inke here instead of just chon (because)?

Accepted Answer

While chon is the everyday word for "because," be dalil-e inke literally means "due to the reason that" or "due to the fact that." It is slightly more formal and often used to state a specific, concrete cause, which fits perfectly when making an official complaint to a utility company. Just like in English, it is followed by a standard factual statement using the indicative verb dârad.

Question 2

Why does the sentence use dârad (has) instead of saying the internet is disrupted?

Accepted Answer

In English, we usually describe this state with an adjective ("is disrupted"). In Farsi, it is very common to express states or conditions using a noun plus the verb dâštan (to have). Extelâl is a noun meaning "disruption," so Farsi literally says the internet "has a disruption."

Question 3

Why do we use the preposition be before moxâberât?

Accepted Answer

The compound verb e'terâz kardan means "to protest" or "to complain." When you want to specify who you are complaining to (or what you are protesting against), you must link it with the preposition be (to). Therefore, be moxâberât e'terâz kardim means "we complained to telecommunications."

Question 4

Is there a hidden ezafe vowel in be dalil-e inke?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It is pronounced be dalil-e inke. The ezafe (the hidden "e" sound) is required to link the noun dalil (reason) to the pronoun in (this). Broken down literally, the phrase is "to [the] reason of this that..."
