Reformulating a qualification · Preserving the degree of certainty

Preserving the degree of certainty in context, with bilingual examples and practice.

Application goal: Preserving the degree of certainty.

Preserve scope, certainty and conditions when reformulating. Changing may to will or some to all changes the meaning even when the topic stays the same.

Context: Reformulating a qualification. Identify the wording that achieves this goal, then adapt the details to a situation of your own.

Practical examples

"The change may reduce repeated enquiries" cannot accurately be shortened to "the change reduces enquiries".

لا يصح اختصار «قد يقلل التغيير الاستفسارات المتكررة» إلى «يقلل التغيير الاستفسارات».

The shorter version removes uncertainty and broadens the type of enquiry being discussed.

تحذف النسخة الأقصر عدم اليقين وتوسع نوع الاستفسارات موضع الحديث.

A faithful reformulation might say that fewer repeated enquiries are a possible benefit of the change.

يمكن لصياغة أمينة أن تقول إن انخفاض الاستفسارات المتكررة فائدة محتملة للتغيير.
