Questions & Answers about با وجود اینکه بابونه ارزان است، برای تسکین استرس عالی محسوب می‌شود.

How does the verb mahsub shodan work with the adjective âli here? Does it need a preposition like "as"?

In Farsi, mahsub shodan (to be considered/counted as) links directly to the noun or adjective without needing a preposition like "as" or "to be". So âli mahsub mishavad simply means "is considered excellent". You just place the describing word directly before the verb.

The current lesson also teaches be shomâr raftan. Could I use be shomâr miravad in this sentence instead?

Yes, these two formal compound verbs are highly interchangeable. You could perfectly say âli be shomâr miravad here. The meaning would still be "is considered excellent" or "counts as excellent". Both are great for formal speaking or writing, such as in an article about herbal medicine.

Why do we use bâ vojud-e inke instead of just bâ vojud-e for "despite"?

Bâ vojud-e is a preposition meaning "despite" and must be followed by a noun phrase (like "despite its cheapness"). Because this sentence uses a full clause with its own subject and verb (bâbune arzân ast / "chamomile is cheap"), you have to add inke to act as a bridge. Together, bâ vojud-e inke acts as a conjunction translating to "despite the fact that".

Is there an Ezafe connection between taskin and estres?

Yes, the phrase is pronounced taskin-e estres. The unseen Ezafe vowel links the noun taskin (relief/soothing) to the word (stress) to show the relationship: "relief of stress".
