Questions & Answers about این تختهها بزرگ است.
Why does the sentence use این (this) instead of a plural word for 'these'?
In Farsi, demonstrative words like این (this) always stay in their singular form when they come directly before a noun. Because the noun تختهها (boards) already shows that we are talking about more than one, این doesn't need to change.
How does the plural marker ها attach to the word تخته?
The base word تخته (board) ends in a silent letter that makes an 'e' sound. When adding the regular plural marker ها, the two parts do not physically join together in the script. They sit side-by-side as تختهها so the original shape of the word is preserved.
Why does the sentence end with the singular verb است (is) when we are talking about multiple boards?
This is a very important rule for beginners: in Farsi, plural subjects that are not human (inanimate objects like boards, apples, or chairs) usually take a singular verb. So Farsi literally says 'this boards is big'.
Should the adjective بزرگ (big) get a plural marker too?
No, adjectives in Farsi do not take a plural marker to match the noun. بزرگ stays exactly the same whether you are talking about one board or fifty boards.
