Questions & Answers about از آبکش استفاده میکنیم، بنابراین بافت پنیر سفت میشود.
Does using banâbar-in change the grammar of the second half of the sentence?
No, banâbar-in (therefore) simply connects two independent clauses to show consequence. Unlike some conjunctions that require a mood change (like the subjunctive), banâbar-in just introduces a factual result, so the second verb (mishavad) stays in its normal present indicative form.
Why does the sentence start with az (from) when the English translation starts with 'We use'?
In Farsi, the verb for 'to use' is the compound verb estefâde kardan, and it always takes the preposition az before the object being used. Literally, this first clause is structured as 'From a colander, use we make.'
Could we use ast (is) instead of mishavad (becomes) at the end of the sentence?
You could, but it would slightly change the meaning. mishavad (from the verb shodan, to become) specifically highlights the process or result caused by the first action: because we use a colander, the cheese becomes firm. If you used ast, you would just be stating a static fact: 'the cheese is firm.'
How are the words 'texture' (bâft) and 'cheese' (panir) linked together here?
They are linked by the ezâfe, a short 'e' sound added to the end of the first word that isn't usually written in the Farsi alphabet. Pronounced as bâft-e panir, this grammar tool acts like the English word 'of', giving us 'texture of cheese'.
