Questions & Answers about O destino é promissor, tanto mais que a integração é fácil para nós.
How does the phrase tanto mais que function in this sentence, and why does it use the indicative verb é?
The phrase tanto mais que translates to "especially since" or "all the more because." It introduces a supporting reason that reinforces the first clause. It triggers the indicative mood (here, the verb é) because it states a concrete, established fact about the integration, rather than a doubt or subjective feeling.
Could I substitute tanto mais que with a simpler connector like porque or já que?
You could, but it changes the nuance. While porque (because) or já que (since) simply introduce a basic reason, tanto mais que acts as a causal-additive connector. It implies the destination is already promising on its own, and the easy integration is an extra "bonus" reason that makes the destination even better.
Is the adjective promissor related to the verb prometer?
Why do we say para nós instead of a combined pronoun form?
The preposition para (for) always keeps the pronoun as a separate word, such as para mim, para ti, and para nós. You only merge the preposition and pronoun into a special combined form when using com (with), which gives us words like connosco (with us).
