Questions & Answers about آن دکتر ناراحت است.
Does آن (ân) change depending on whether the doctor is male or female?
No, Farsi does not have grammatical gender. You use آن (ân) to mean "that" before any singular noun, whether it refers to a man, a woman, or a thing. Just like in English, it goes right before the noun: آن دکتر (that doctor).
Why is the verb است (ast) at the very end of the sentence?
In Farsi, the main verb almost always comes at the end of the sentence. While English says "That doctor is upset," the Farsi word order is literally "That doctor upset is."
Is دکتر (doktor) just an English loanword?
Yes! Farsi has borrowed a number of modern words from European languages, primarily French and English. دکتر (doktor) is completely standard and used in everyday Farsi.
What is the literal meaning of ناراحت (nârâhat)?
It usually translates to "upset" or "sad," but it literally means "uncomfortable." It comes from combining the negative prefix نا (nâ-) with راحت (râhat), which means "comfortable." You can use it to describe someone who is emotionally upset or physically uncomfortable.
