Questions & Answers about آن اتاق خیلی کثیف است.
Does the word for 'that' (ân) come before or after the noun?
Just like in English, demonstratives like ân (that) and in (this) come right before the noun they describe. So, 'that room' is ân otâq.
Wait, doesn't ân also mean 'it'?
Yes, it does! When ân is used completely by itself, it usually translates to the pronoun 'it'. But when you place it directly before a noun, like in ân otâq, it acts exactly like the English word 'that' (that room).
Why is the word for 'is' (ast) at the very end of the sentence?
In Farsi, the verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. While English says 'That room IS very dirty,' the Farsi word order is closer to 'That room very dirty IS.'
Where should I place xeili (very) when describing a word?
Just like in English, xeili comes immediately before the adjective it emphasizes. In this sentence, it sits directly in front of kasif (dirty).
