Learn Farsi: هیچ‌کس مشکل را حل نکرد به خاطر اینکه اداره‌ی مخابرات تعطیل بود. - No one solved the problem because the telecommunications office was closed.

Both mean because, but be khâter-e inke translates more closely to due to the fact that or for the reason that. It sounds slightly more formal and places a stronger emphasis on the specific cause than a simple chon.

Why does be khâter-e inke take the regular past tense verb bud instead of a subjunctive form?

Reason conjunctions like be khâter-e inke and be dalil-e inke state facts or actual events that explain why something happened. Because they deal with reality rather than a wish, doubt, or hypothetical situation, they are followed by the indicative mood (regular tenses like the simple past bud) instead of the subjunctive.

Why is the verb hal nakard in the negative form if hich-kas already means no one?

Farsi requires double negatives. Whenever you use a negative pronoun like hich-kas (nobody) or hich-chiz (nothing), the verb in that clause must also be negative. A literal English translation would sound like Nobody did not solve the problem.

Is the -ye on edâre-ye an Ezafe linking it to mokhâberât?

Yes! The word edâre (office) ends in a spoken vowel, so the Ezafe connector takes the form of -ye instead of just -e. Together, edâre-ye mokhâberât means the office of telecommunications.
