The quantifier some (ba'zi)

The Quantifier بعضی

To express "some" or a portion of a group in Farsi, use the word بعضی.

When you want to say "some of" a specific group of items or people, follow بعضی with the preposition از (from/of), and then use a plural noun.

You can also use بعضی از with pronouns to say things like "some of them". This is especially common when contrasting a portion of something against the whole (همه).

While بعضی از is the most common and natural way to say "some of" in everyday Farsi, you may occasionally see بعضی connected directly to the plural noun using the ezafe instead of از (becoming بعضیِ).
