A1 Expression غیر رسمی

C'est pourquoi ?

Why is it?

معنی

An informal way to ask for a reason.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In France, 'C'est pourquoi ?' is often accompanied by a slight shrug of the shoulders (the 'Gallic Shrug') to indicate casual interest. In Quebec, you might hear 'C'est pour quoi faire ?' more frequently than in France to ask for a reason behind an action. In French texting culture, 'pkoi' is the universal shorthand for 'pourquoi'.

🎯

The Softener

Use this instead of 'Pourquoi ?' to sound less aggressive when asking for a reason.

⚠️

Spelling Matters

In writing, 'pourquoi' is one word for 'why'. 'Pour quoi' is two words for 'for what'.
