Questions & Answers about مایه را اضافه میکنیم تا شیر سفت شود، در نتیجه نگهداری آن آسان میشود.
Why is the first 'becomes' in the subjunctive (shavad), but the second one after dar natije is not (mi-shavad)?
The first verb, سفت شود (seft shavad), follows تا (tâ), which here means 'so that'. Because it expresses an intention or a desired goal, it requires the subjunctive mood. The second verb, آسان میشود (âsân mi-shavad), states a factual outcome happening 'as a result' (در نتیجه or dar natije). Since it is a real consequence and not a hypothetical goal, it takes the regular present tense (indicative mood).
Could I use the other consequence connector, banâbar-in, in this sentence instead?
You could use بنابراین (banâbar-in) meaning 'therefore', and the sentence would still be grammatically correct. However, در نتیجه (dar natije) fits perfectly here because it emphasizes a direct physical outcome (the milk firming up physically results in easier storage). The word banâbar-in is more often used when a person is making a logical deduction or a decision based on the previous statement.
I thought the word for liquid was mâye. Why does it mean 'rennet' here?
They sound identical, but they are spelled differently! The word مایع (mâye' ending with the letter eyn) means 'liquid'. The word in this sentence is مایه (mâye ending with heh), which means a starter, ferment, or base used in cooking. Depending on the context, it can refer to yeast for dough, yogurt starter, or rennet for cheesemaking.
How does نگهداری آن (negahdâri-e ân) translate to 'storing it'?
