The lesson teaches both hâki az in ke and mabnâ bar in ke. Could we use mabnâ bar in ke here instead?
Yes! In this context, they are virtually interchangeable. hâki az in ke literally translates closer to "indicative of the fact that" (from an Arabic root related to narrating or telling), while mabnâ bar in ke means "based on the fact that." Both perfectly connect the evidence to the clause that describes it.
Why isn't there an ezâfe connecting šavâhedi to hâki?
The suffix -i on šavâhedi is the indefinite article, meaning "some evidence" or "a piece of evidence." In modern Farsi, when a noun takes this indefinite -i, the ezâfe linking it to a following adjective or descriptive phrase (like hâki az...) is often dropped or absorbed.
"Evidence" is an uncountable noun in English. Why is šavâhed plural in Farsi?
Unlike English, Farsi treats evidence as a countable concept. šavâhed is the Arabic broken plural of šâhed (witness/proof). By combining this plural form with the indefinite -i, you are essentially saying "we found proofs (or pieces of evidence) indicating that..."
