Difference between convince and persuade

همان تفاوتی است که در فارسی بین «متقاعد کردن» (convince) و «ترغیب کردن» (persuade) وجود دارد. در اولی ما فرایند دلیل و توجیه آوردن برای صحت و درستی امری را داریم در حالیکه در دومی بحثی که می‌شود برای وادار کردن فردِ ترغیب شونده به انجام کاری است. به عبارت دیگر، در متقاعد کردن، فرد الزاماً دست به انجام عملی نمی‌زند و صرفاً از نظر ذهنی می‌پذیرد که مطلبی درست و یا حقیقت است اما در ترغیب کردن، فرد مشتاق به انجام کاری به شکلِ عملی می‌شود. 

Usually convince means "to cause (someone) to believe that something is true." Usually persuade means "to cause (someone) to do something by asking, arguing, or giving reasons." They can be used interchangeably but that is less common. 

The main difference between convince and persuade is in their definitions and usage:

- Convince: To cause someone to believe firmly in the truth of something. It involves presenting arguments or evidence to make someone believe or agree with a certain point of view. It is about changing someone's mind through reasoning or evidence.

- Persuade: To cause someone to do something through reasoning or argument. It involves influencing someone's beliefs, attitudes, or actions by appealing to their emotions, values, or interests. It is about getting someone to take a specific action or make a decision.

In summary, convincing is about changing someone's beliefs or opinions, while persuading is about getting someone to take a specific action or make a decision.
