Questions & Answers about یک بلاکچین غیرمتمرکز به مثابهی یک بانک امن است.
Why does be masâbe end with an -ye (ی) here?
The phrase be masâbe (meaning 'as' or 'tantamount to') requires an ezafe to link it to the noun that follows. Because the word masâbe ends in a silent heh representing a vowel sound, the ezafe must be written with the letter ye (ی). This is pronounced as '-ye', giving us be masâbe-ye.
Why use be masâbe-ye instead of a simpler word like mesl-e (like)?
While mesl-e simply compares two things (saying it 'is like a bank'), be masâbe-ye is a formal way to express functional equivalence. It emphasizes that the decentralized blockchain does the actual job of a secure bank, serving in that exact capacity rather than just resembling it.
How is the word gheyr-e motamarkez (decentralized) formed?
It uses the word gheyr (meaning 'non-' or 'other than') linked with an ezafe to the adjective motamarkez (centralized). Using gheyr-e is a very common way to negate adjectives or create opposites in formal Farsi, functioning exactly like the prefixes 'de-', 'un-', or 'non-' in English.
The English translation says 'serves as', but the Farsi verb is just ast (is). Do we always use the verb 'to be' with this phrase?
The verb budan (to be) is the most common pairing for this structure. The phrase be masâbe-ye ... ast translates naturally to 'serves as ...' or 'acts as ...' in English. However, you might also see it used with verbs of perception, like didan (to see), to mean 'to view something as...'.
