Questions & Answers about ما به مخابرات اعتراض کردیم به دلیل اینکه اینترنت اختلال دارد.
Why use be dalil-e inke here instead of just chon (because)?
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.

Why does the sentence use dârad (has) instead of saying the internet is disrupted?
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."
Why do we use the preposition be before moxâberât?
