Asking "Which" with کدام
To ask "which," use the question word کدام directly before a singular noun. Unlike regular adjectives, it does not connect to the noun with an ezafe vowel.
| Which shirt do you like, the red one or the blue one? | کدام پیراهن را دوست داری، قرمز یا آبی؟kodâm pirâhan râ dust dâri, qermez yâ âbi? |
To help answer "which," this lesson introduces basic colors. Colors act as regular adjectives—they follow the noun and connect with an ezafe.
| Which apple is sweeter, the green apple or the yellow apple? | کدام سیب شیرینتر است، سیب سبز یا سیب زرد؟kodâm sib shirin-tar ast, sib sabz yâ sib zard? |
| Which bag do you want, the brown one or the gray one? | کدام کیف را میخواهی، قهوهای یا خاکستری؟kodâm kif râ mikhâhi, qahve'i yâ khâkestari? |
| Which book is on the table, the orange book or the purple book? | کدام کتاب روی میز است، کتاب نارنجی یا کتاب بنفش؟kodâm ketâb ruye miz ast, ketâb-e nârenji yâ ketâb-e banafsh? |
