Questions & Answers about از یک سو شهرسازی منافعی دارد و از سوی دیگر باعث معضلات زیستمحیطی میشود.
Why does the second part of the phrase use an ezafe (سوی دیگر) but the first part (یک سو) does not?
In از یک سو (on the one hand), یک acts as a number preceding the noun سو (direction/side), which doesn't require an ezafe. In از سوی دیگر (on the other hand), دیگر (other) acts as an adjective following سو, so the ezafe connector is required. Because سو ends in a vowel, the ezafe takes the form of ی (su-ye).
What is the purpose of the ی at the end of منافعی (benefits)?
It is the indefinite suffix. While beginners usually learn it as 'a' or 'an' for singular nouns, it can also attach to plural nouns like منافع (benefits) to mean 'some benefits' or to refer to benefits in a general, unspecified way.
How does the phrase باعث ... میشود work to mean 'it causes'?
The word باعث means 'cause' or 'reason'. When paired with the verb شدن (to become), it literally translates to 'it becomes the cause of'. Notice that it must connect to the thing being caused (معضلات زیستمحیطی) using an ezafe: باعثِ (bā'es-e).
How is the adjective زیستمحیطی (environmental) formed?
The standard noun for 'environment' is محیط زیست (literally 'environment of living'). To turn this into an adjective, Farsi often flips the word order to create the base compound زیستمحیط, and then adds the adjective-forming suffix ی.
