Questions & Answers about اینها کلاس است.
How is the word اینها formed?
اینها (inhâ) means "these." It is made by adding the plural suffix ها (hâ) to the singular word این (in), which means "this."
Why does this sentence use the singular verb است (is) when the English translation says "are"?
In Farsi, plural subjects that are inanimate (things, not people) almost always take a singular verb. Because of this rule, the plural subject اینها (these) pairs with the singular verb است (is) instead of a plural verb.
The translation says "classes," but the word کلاس doesn't have a plural ending. Why is that?
When identifying objects with a plural demonstrative, Farsi often leaves the noun singular. The word اینها (these) already shows there is more than one, so Farsi doesn't require a plural ending on کلاس (kelâs) to make the meaning clear.
Is اینها pronounced exactly as it is written in everyday conversations?
Usually, no. In casual spoken Farsi, the "h" sound is dropped, and اینها (inhâ) is shortened and pronounced as اینا (inâ).
