Questions & Answers about دمای آب افزایش یافت، از این جهت سفیدشدگی مرجانها بیشتر شد.
How formal is az in jehat compared to other ways of saying 'for this reason'?
Az in jehat is quite formal and is commonly used in writing, news, or academic contexts like this sentence about marine biology. It works just like az in ru (hence) to connect two independent clauses. In everyday conversation, you would more likely use simpler connectors like be hamin dalil or simply pas (so).
How exactly is the noun sefid-shodegi built?
It is a compound noun describing a state or process. It combines sefid (white) with the past stem of shodan (to become) which is shod, plus the suffix -egi which forms an abstract noun. Therefore, sefid-shodegi literally translates to 'the state of becoming white', which is the scientific term for bleaching.
Why does the sentence use afzāyesh yāft for the first increase and bishtar shod for the second?
Both mean 'increased', but afzāyesh yāftan is a formal compound verb that literally means 'to find increase'. Using it in the first clause matches the scientific tone set by the connector az in jehat. Switching to the slightly simpler bishtar shod in the second half just avoids repeating the same verb twice.
Could we split this into two separate sentences and start the second one with az in jehat?
Yes. Just like in English with 'For this reason', you can replace the comma with a full stop and start a brand new sentence with az in jehat. It perfectly links the logical consequence back to the preceding independent sentence.
