Questions & Answers about تمرکز اشتغال در پایتخت، شتاب شهرنشینی را بیشتر میکند.
This lesson is about نسبت به (nesbat be), but it's not in this sentence. Is there still a comparison happening here?
Yes! The comparative word بیشتر (bishtar - more) implies a comparison, meaning urbanization is happening faster than before or than it otherwise would. If you wanted to explicitly state a comparison, like 'accelerates urbanization compared to other regions', you could add نسبت به مناطق دیگر (nesbat be manategh-e digar) right before بیشتر میکند.
The translation says 'accelerates', but the Persian uses بیشتر میکند (makes more). Why not use a single verb for 'accelerate'?
In Persian, verbs of change are frequently built by combining an adjective or noun with کردن (kardan - to do/make). Here, شتاب (shetab) means 'pace' or 'acceleration', and بیشتر کردن (bishtar kardan) means 'to increase'. So شتاب ... را بیشتر میکند literally means 'increases the pace of...', which is a very natural way to express 'accelerates' in formal Farsi.
What is the difference between اشتغال (eshteghal) and شغل (shoghl)?
شغل (shoghl) refers to a specific 'job' or 'occupation' (e.g., 'She has a good job'). اشتغال (eshteghal) is the broader, abstract Arabic-derived noun meaning 'employment' in an economic or statistical sense. You will see it often in B2-level analytical texts like this one.
How is the word شهرنشینی (shahrneshini - urbanization) broken down?
It is a classic Persian compound. It combines شهر (shahr - city) + (neshin - present stem of 'to sit/reside') + (i - abstract noun suffix). means 'city-dweller', and adding the final creates the abstract concept of 'city-dwelling' or 'urbanization'.
