(The) What/Nature Explanation: Actually, this is a very tricky Persian word, because it can be translated in many ways depending on the context, including "nature", "what xx is", and more. It can be translated to "what", as in "چرایی، چیستی و چگونگی مدیریت نوآوری" for "the why, what and how of management innovation" (source below): http://opac.nlai.ir/opac-prod/search/briefListSearch.do?comm... It can also be translated to "nature", I think. This alternative is based on Dehkhoda dictionary's definition of the term, which has defined it as an equivalent to "ماهیت" which can be translated to nature (nothing to do with the environment, of course; it's "nature" as in "the name and nature of something"). |
