Questions & Answers about در این آمار، اقتصاد نسبت به گذشته سریعتر از پیشبینیها رشد میکند.
Why use nesbat be گذشته instead of just az گذشته here?
While az گذشته is grammatically correct and common in daily speech, nesbat be (relative to / in comparison with) is preferred in formal, analytical, or journalistic texts. It emphasizes the baseline of comparison more strongly, which fits the context of discussing economic statistics.
The sentence also uses az in سریعتر از پیشبینیها. Could we have used nesbat be there instead?
Technically yes, but it is better not to. Using nesbat be twice in the same sentence would sound repetitive and heavy. This sentence uses a very natural pattern for complex comparisons: it uses nesbat be to set the general background condition (compared to the past) and uses the standard az right next to the comparative adjective sari'tar (faster than predictions).
آمار is translated as the plural 'statistics,' but it doesn't have a plural suffix like -ها. Why is that?
The word aamaar is usually treated as a collective noun in Farsi, referring to 'data' or a body of statistics as a whole. You will sometimes see آمارها (aamaar-haa), but the singular form is perfectly standard for expressing the plural concept of 'statistics' or 'figures'.
What is the literal breakdown of the word پیشبینی (pish-bini)?
It means 'prediction' or 'forecast.' It is constructed from pish (before/forward) and (the noun form derived from the present stem of , to see). Literally, it translates to 'fore-seeing'.
