Questions & Answers about از نظر روانشناس، این عقیده بسیار شایع است.
How is the word روانشناس (psychologist) constructed?
It is a compound noun made of روان (mind/soul) and شناس, which is the present stem of شناختن (to know/recognize). Adding شناس to a noun is the standard way to form "-ologist" professions in Farsi, such as جامعهشناس (sociologist) or زیستشناس (biologist).
Does شایع (šâye') just mean "common" in the same way as معمول (ma'mul)?
Not quite. While معمول means "usual" or "common" in everyday situations, شایع specifically means "widespread" or "prevalent." It is used for phenomena that spread widely through a population, like a disease, a rumor, or, as in this sentence, a belief (عقیده).
Could I replace از نظر (from the perspective of) with this lesson's target phrase در واقع (in fact)?
No, they serve very different purposes in discourse. از نظر sets up a subjective opinion or a specific viewpoint. در واقع asserts an objective reality or corrects a misconception. However, they contrast beautifully in conversation! You could say: "From the psychologist's view (از نظر), this belief is widespread, but in fact (در واقع) it is completely false."
Why is there a spoken ezafe connecting نظر and روانشناس, but not connecting این and عقیده?
