Questions & Answers about آن کلاس شلوغ است.
If I wanted to say "Those classes are crowded", would I use the plural demonstrative ânhâ?
Actually, no! When a demonstrative is placed right next to a noun, it always stays singular in Farsi. So "those classes" is simply ân kelâs-hâ. You only use the plural ânhâ when the noun is dropped completely, like ânhâ sholugh hastand (Those are crowded).
Can I use sholugh to say that I am a busy person?
No, sholugh is specifically used for places that are crowded, noisy, or chaotic with people, like a street, a classroom, or a restaurant. It is not used for a person who has a lot of work to do.
Is kelâs just the English word "class"?
Yes! kelâs is a loanword borrowed from European languages. It is the standard Farsi word for both a physical classroom and a course you take.
Why is the word ast at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi is a "verb-final" language, meaning the verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. Instead of saying "That class is crowded", the Farsi word order literally translates to "That class crowded is".
