Questions & Answers about از یک سو شهرسازی یک نیاز انکارناپذیر محسوب میشود و از سوی دیگر لطمه به طبیعت اجتنابناپذیر است.
How does the phrase for 'on the one hand ... on the other hand' work here, and can I use طرف instead of سو?
The structure is از یک سو (on one side) and از سوی دیگر (on the other side). You can absolutely swap سو with طرف to get از یک طرف ... و از طرف دیگر. Both سو and طرف mean 'side' or 'direction' and are perfectly interchangeable in this correlative structure. Note the required addition of the Ezafe in سوی دیگر (su-ye digar).
Both انکارناپذیر and اجتنابناپذیر end in ناپذیر. What exactly does this suffix do?
The suffix ناپذیر (nā-pazir) acts like the English suffixes '-able' or '-ible' combined with a negative prefix like 'un-' or 'in-'. It is formed from نا (a negative prefix) and پذیر (from the verb stem for 'to accept'). So انکارناپذیر literally means 'denial-un-accepting' (undeniable), and اجتنابناپذیر means 'avoidance-un-accepting' (inevitable).
Why is محسوب میشود used here instead of just saying 'is' for 'is considered'?
محسوب شدن (mahsub shodan) is a common passive compound verb meaning 'to be counted' or 'to be considered'. At the B2 level, using verbs like this instead of a simple 'to be' elevates your Farsi and sounds much more formal and argumentative, which perfectly matches the academic tone of the correlative structure in this sentence.
Why isn't there an Ezafe after لطمه in the phrase لطمه به طبیعت?
In Farsi, when a noun is directly followed and modified by a prepositional phrase, you generally do not use an Ezafe. Here, لطمه (damage) is connected to طبیعت (nature) by the preposition به (to). If it were 'nature's damage', it would be لطمهی طبیعت with an Ezafe, but 'damage to nature' is simply لطمه به طبیعت.
