Meaning
Indicating the method or channel used.
Cultural Background
Because of internet filtering, 'az tariq-e VPN' is a ubiquitous phrase. It highlights the technical hurdles Iranians face daily. In Iranian offices, 'az tariq-e selsele-marateb' (through the hierarchy) is a common phrase, emphasizing the importance of following formal channels. In Dari, 'az tariq-e' is equally common and formal, often used in news broadcasts from TOLOnews. While Tajik uses Cyrillic, the phrase 'аз тариқи' (az tariqi) is used in the same formal contexts as in Iran.
Email Mastery
In formal emails, always use 'az tariq-e' instead of 'ba'. It immediately signals that you are a high-level speaker.
The Ezafe Trap
Never forget the 'e' sound at the end of 'tariq'. Without it, the sentence sounds broken and uneducated.
