Hey َAmir beglo, how are you? I hope you are doing just fine!
As regards your question, I should warn you that the idiom ''in terms of'' can have two different meanings:
1. ''as measured or indicated by''; ''on the basis of.'' This usage originated in mathematics, where it alludes to numerical units.
E.g.: ''How far is it in terms of miles?''
E.g.: ''That tragedy last week caused a lot of damages - most of them in terms of lives.''
2. ''in relation to''; ''with reference to.''
E.g.: 'In terms of this problem, I must admit I do not know how we are going to deal with it.''
E.g.: ''This film offers nothing in terms of satisfactory entertainment.''
I hope you have understood it!
Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I shall be pleased to help.
