This and That
To point out objects or people, you need two essential words: "this" and "that".
| this | این |
| that | آن |
In Farsi, singular demonstratives are incredibly straightforward. They don't change for gender because Farsi has no grammatical gender.
Let's use them to point out some simple objects around the house:
| This is a house. | این خانه است.in khâne ast. |
| That is a yard. | آن حیاط است.ân hayât ast. |
You can easily combine them into longer observations using "and":
| This is a window and that is a door. | این پنجره است و آن در است.in panjere ast va ân dar ast. |
Describing Specific Objects
You can also use these demonstratives directly before a noun to specify exactly which object you are talking about (like "this chair" or "that room"). Just like in English, the demonstrative always comes before the noun it describes.
| This chair is excellent. | این صندلی عالی است.in sandali âli ast. |
| That bed is dirty. | آن تخت کثیف است.ân takht kasif ast. |
| That room is very dirty. | آن اتاق خیلی کثیف است.ân otâgh kheyli kasif ast. |
